• West Virginia becoming the first team unanimously projected in all bracket predictions to miss the tournament
• Louisville receiving a surprisingly low 8-seed despite being a top-25 team and ACC Tournament runner-up
• Michigan (-3) vs UC San Diego matchup featuring contrasting styles - size advantage vs three-point shooting
• Yale (+7.5) having potential to cover against Texas A&M in another mid-major upset opportunity
• New Mexico (+4) against Marquette standing out as the top upset play in the region
• Michigan State's path to potentially reaching the Elite Eight as a 2-seed
