Akron was top-150 the past four years before 2017-18, and top 100 the last two of those. Anyone know why they fell off so hard this past year, and if they might be due for an upswing?

Ken Pom ratings:
Clemson 14
Boise St. 61
Georgia 65
St. Bonaventure 68
Georgia St. 101
Illinois St. 140
Akron 255
If we draw anyone but Akron first round I'll be happy. Tourney also has preliminary games I think, so not looking forward to those, but hopefully the scheduling dept. plans less additional cupcakes after last season's non-con home slate.

It's a 8-team field and play 3 games in-tourney. There are no "preliminary" games in this tourney.
