10 teams that could make surprise runs in March Madness
Indiana State
March Madness is made for the underdogs and perhaps no team fits that mold more than the Sycamores. Led by star Robbie Avila, Indiana State is 22-3 and ranked for the first time since Larry Bird was in uniform. The metrics look pretty good for the Sycamores as well as they rank first in the country in effective field goal percentage, No. 18 in adjusted offensive efficiency and No. 38 in adjusted efficiency margin which could prove to be enough to go on a run similar to what Loyola-Chicago did in 2018. However, with no marquee wins to hang their hats on, Indiana State will have to prove it belongs by stringing together some upsets in March.
