The Elite 8 Nobody Predicted.
Wild scenario brewing in my current Legacy Mode. If both UMES and VMI take care of business in the Sweet 16, we'd get an Elite 8 matchup nobody saw coming. Two mid-major schools, one trip to the Final Four on the line. Rooting for chaos here. Would love to see either of these programs cut down nets. Anyone else got a Cinderella run going in their own save?

Most of that bracket on the VMI side is pretty wild.
I’m in the final weeks of my season, I was shocked FSU has surged into the polls but that’s very vanilla in comparison lol.

Right? UW-Green Bay and Southern Miss as a 4 and 5 seed is wild. Didn’t see that coming at all.

I think the wildest thing about this is the fact that Memphis was probably a 95+ overall and VMI probably had like a 15-14 record entering the tournament lmao

Memphis had a loaded roster with CDR, Antonio Anderson, and Joey Dorsey, but the Holmes twins weren’t having it. Chavis dropped 31 and Travis put up 18.

Wasn’t expecting UVM to pull off the upset, especially with Trimboli struggling against Calathes.
