March madness bracket prep: Strengths, weaknesses for all 68 teams, outlooks and more--The Athletic

Outlook: Oakland has experience facing tough opponents. The Golden Grizzlies played at Ohio State, Illinois, Michigan State and Dayton and were competitive against Illinois and Ohio State. They also beat Xavier on the road.

BartTorvik has the Golden Grizzlies at 9-3 in “close games." Close games work both ways though: 13 of their 23 wins this season were by eight points or less. That leaves a lot of uncertainty out there.

The Golden Grizzlies should enter the NCAA Tournament with loads of confidence. They’ve won 17 of their last 20 games and took on big opponents early in the season, so they shouldn’t be fazed by having to face big-name teams. Plus, Jordan Brenner and Peter Keating are more or less in on Oakland as a potential bracket breaker, and they’re the experts on upsets!
