The crowd is blindly riding McNeese because of their 28-5 record and Cinderella narrative, but this is the THIRD straight year they've been a No. 12 seed — familiarity breeds complacency, not success. Vanderbilt is a Power Conference squad at home in this neutral-site setup with a 12.5-point cushion, and fading a mid-major riding vibes over substance is exactly how you print money in March. The crowd loves a feel-good story; I love cashing tickets.
