Coastal Carolina has a chance to be a pest for someone but doubt they actually upset anyone. North Florida beat Purdue early in the year. Northern Iowa is probably getting a 4-seed but I like them better than some teams that'll be seeded ahead of them. They beat Illinois State who had a 14-point lead at one point but couldn't hold on. The Redbirds will be a factor in the Valley in 2016. The Valley will be very good next year.
Wisconsin absolutely pansted Ohio State. I wondered earlier last week how good Ohio State was. Wisconsin is the best team in the Big Ten by far but that performance by the Buckeyes was embarrassing. That's two no-shows in the last few weeks. The resume is thin.
The Badgers KenPom defensive numbers jumped dramatically after that game. If they win the Big Ten tournament, they're getting a 1-seed. I don't think the Big Ten is very good this year but even if it was as good as the last 3 years, Bucky still wins it easily.
That said, when Ohio State plays Wisconsin, not calling it The Goblin vs. The Grinch is a serious marketing failure.
