There are a lot of theatrics that come with March Madness. There are cinderella runs and storylines with every matchup. Of course, the main with Kentucky taking on James Madison is that Kenny Brooks will be taking on his alma mater, where his first stop was as a head coach. Brooks and his team aren’t focused on any of it.
Of course, 5-seeds taking on 12-seeds are always interesting because there tend to be a good number of upsets in those games. You see those upsets occur more often on the men’s side, but we’ve seen some close, close games in those matchups lately, and we even saw two 12-seeds pull off those wins back in 2023.
James Madison, objectively, seems like a fun team to pick for an upset win given the circumstances with Brooks. Plus, they’re a solid team coming off a Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship victory…
