Put On Your Dancing Shoes

The wait was not very long in Naperville. With bated breath, members of North Central's men's basketball team gathered in the Cardinal Room in Merner Fieldhouse to watch the NCAA Selection Show this morning. Fortunately, they did not have to wait very long, as the setup of the bracket got the Cardinals on the board within five minutes of the start of the show.

Yeeeeeeeeeeah time to get out the dancing shoes #GoCards

The at large bid marks the first trip to the NCAA Tournament for the Cardinals since that legendary 2013 run to the Final Four, and with the Augustana automatic bid and Elmhurst also getting an at large bid, the CCIW got three teams in for the second straight year. It's a testament to how much of a gauntlet the conference truly is.

North Central is heading up to Wisconsin this weekend to advance, and they avoid both of their conference rivals, who are on the other side of the bracket, as well as Benedictine, who looms as a potential Elite Eight matchup. So as is my tradition, the questions are plentiful. What do we know about North Central's opponents? I dug into the stats and have a preview of the weekend ahead,
