Men's Brackets Set for R7CC Sevens
Men's Brackets Set for R7CC Sevens
The Mens brackets for the USA Rugby Sevens Collegiate Championships have been settled.
The R7CC will be held May 14-15 in Atlanta, Ga. at Kennesaw State University, with three men's brackets and three women's brackets, all broadcats on NBC platforms.
Men's Gold
Sixteen teams are in the top Men's Gold bracket, with teams such as Central Washington, Lindenwood, Life, and Saint Mary's, that have won major championships at the highest level. In addition, Arizona and UCLA has often been right there with the very best, and Indiana just rolled through the Big Ten this year.
Certainly UCLA has the talent to win the whole thing, but watch out for wounded lions Lindenwood and Saint Mary's.
