They discuss Nebraska's potential path to the Final Four, starting with a first-round matchup against Florida A&M and a possible second-round clash with either Miami or South Dakota State. The guys also explore the chaos surrounding the tournament draw, including the potential third meeting against Wisconsin in the Elite Eight, and the intriguing possibilities of upsets across the bracket.
