With 14 wins and zero losses, the Princeton Tigers won the Ivy League championship without dispute, Lu Qiujian also won the title of Ivy League Player of the Year and was named to the All-NBA Team with his outstanding performance, and Patrice also occupied a spot in the All-Star Team, and the next thing they have to do is wait for the results of the tournament grouping.

With the exception of the Ivy League, the champions of all major leagues have already been decided, and Duke has not been able to bounce back after suffering that crushing defeat, losing the Atlantic Coast Conference championship to the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, Wake Forest University Devils Deacons, and University of Maryland Terrapins in a series of Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) games.

In addition to the automatic qualification of the champions of each league to the tournament, there are more than 30 spots selected by the committee based on team record, league strength and other aspects, and they are invited to enter the tournament and join these league champions in four groups to duel in a single-elimination format - lose one and go home, the speed of elimination is very amazing, which is why fans call this time "March Madness".

"The final qualifier and group results are out!", shouted Patrice, who had been watching the computer, "We are the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference against the University of California, Berkeley Golden Bears." ”

Unexpectedly, the first opponent was this prestigious school, which made it feel as if they were still playing in the Ivy League, and Lu Qiujian asked, "How is Duke? Did they enter the tournament?"

"No, the ACC league is Maryland, Wake Forest and North Carolina. Patrice gloated, "Poor Duke is going to be a spectator this year!"

"Haha, if you do something wrong, you will pay the price!", to see if they dare to make any more moths, now it's time for Duke fans to scold the brain-dead leader who agreed to their demonstration at the school, right? And poor Chris Dujon, who has been living in the shadow of Jae Williams for two years, and this year he easily saw the day of his emergence, but he was blocked from the tournament, and he will probably have to wait another year to participate in the draft.

"Wow, we're in the same division as Syracuse University!", Patrice said in an exaggerated voice, "That high-profile Carmelo Anthony is a first-year student on the Syracuse University Orange People!"

"Looking at the situation of the group, we are afraid that we can only meet them if we play the final divisional final!" Lu Qiujian was also attracted by this familiar name, and came to the computer screen to look at the division arrangement and schedule.

This year's host cities include Oklahoma, Birmingham (the United States also has Birmingham, not the United Kingdom), Boston, Tampa, Nashville, Indianapolis, etc., and Princeton will first rush to Oklahoma to face the University of California, Berkeley Golden Bears, and if they win, they will meet the winner of the South Carolina State University Bulldogs and the No. 1 seed University of Oklahoma Shortcuts.

If they still win, they can be part of the Sweet 16 and will leave Oklahoma for the next round in Albany, while Patrice's Carmelo Anthony's Syracuse University Orange People are the third seed, and the two teams will have to wait until the Eastern Conference final if they want to meet!

"There aren't any good players in California Berkeley!", Patrice commented on the table one by one, "We can easily beat them, and Oklahoma are not as strong as they are seeded! We've only lost to them by five points in our previous games! It's still when you're not playing! The quality of their successors hasn't kept up since Nahura entered the NBA, and there aren't any decent players other than that Taki Gray, we can handle them!"

"At that time, we will be in the top 16!", well, it would be better to stay outside for a while longer, so as not to urge the school to make a report all day long, Lu Qiujian joked.

"I can't say that I will meet that team by then!", Patrice became more and more excited, "but there is no team in this division that is particularly strong except for Syracuse University, maybe we can make it to the quarterfinals!"

"And then you're going to face Carmelo Anthony?", Lu Qiujian was also a little excited when he mentioned the name, and he didn't know what it was like to play against such a top player?

After the final list of the top 64 was announced, it quickly set off a heated discussion in the United States, the Oklahoma Legaciers, the University of Arizona Wildcats, the Texas Longhorns, and the University of Kentucky Wildcats were called the No. 1 seeds in the East, West, Midwest and South regions, respectively, and the most surprising thing was the unexpected defeat of Duke University, which has the strength of the championship.

NBA managers sprang into action, sending their ace scouts to the court to scout players like Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Lucchia who had excelled in the regular season, and even those agents began to make final preparations before signing in an effort to dig up another gold mine.

Although Princeton doesn't recruit basketball scholarship players, they share a love of the NCAA, and this year's Tigers unexpectedly reached the round of 64, the campus was filled with jubilant Tigers flags and balloons, and Coach Thompson was greeted by the whole school as he led his players on the bus.

"It's a shame you're going to the tournament, I don't know if I want you to come back early to prepare the report, or pray that you can lead the Tigers further!", Professor Goles, who came to see him off, said a little tangled, but after a while, he stretched his brows, "But as long as you're happy!

"Thank you, Mr. Professor, I will definitely work hard!", Lu Qiujian shook hands with him and boarded the bus, the bus drove to the airport and the group took a plane to Oklahoma City, perhaps because of the Oklahoma Kickers, the whole city is full of the Oklahoma Kickers' iconic red.

After the break, the NCAA tournament officially kicked off, with Oklahoma comfortably beating South Carolina in Game 1, and then it was the turn of the Princeton Tigers!
