After beginning the postseason as a notable snub in the Sirius XM Mascot Bracket, 16th-seeded Big Red has pulled off an unprecedented 6-0 Cinderella run in postseason play, one that has been matched only by its impending opposition in the national title contest — fellow No. 16 seed Brigham Young University.
No. 16 seed WKU and Big Red knocked off No. 6 seed Oklahoma and the Sooner Schooner in the Sirius XM Mascot Bracket on Tuesday, which means the Hilltoppers have advanced beyond their fifth-round matchup and are heading onward and upward to the national championship round of voting.
