Sunday’s Round of 32 matchups feel like a trap for top-ranked teams, especially a day after we saw No. 1 Villanova fall to an under-seeded No. 8 Wisconsin team.

No. 2 Louisville starts off play against a burning hot No. 7 Michigan team which has won its last six games, and 11 of its last 13. They may be the tournament’s hottest team.
Following that game, an under-seeded No. 10 Wichita State team takes on No. 2 Kentucky. The Shockers’ seeding been fairly criticized, and even John Calipari has openly called them a four-seed.
All in a row top seeds could go down, as No. 1 Kansas meets Tom Izzo’s No. 9 Michigan State team, which, you guessed it, is finding its way in March. The Spartans are coming off a dominant 20-point win over Miami in then opening round.
Sunday will also feature a number of future NBA talent, including six of Draft Express’ top eight projected picks. Malik Monk and De’Aaron Fox will lead Kentucky, Kansas’ Josh Jackson and Michigan State’s Miles will face off, and Jayson Tatum and Lonzo Ball will star for Duke and UCLA at night. Here’s how those players faired in their opening round games.
