NCR announced the 32-team bracket for the May Madness 7s Men's competition.
A graphic representation of the bracket can be seen above, or in a larger form here>>
The bracket is a big mixture of teams with success throughout the college landscape, as well as some newer programs trying to make an impact. Indiana comes in as one of the top seeds after winning pretty much everything they've entered. Mount St. Mary's, after winning the Chesapeake series, is another team with big plans.
Lindenwood, which won this tournament last year, is back for another go, while Kutztown is the top seed in their portion of the bracket after winning the NCR qualifier in Massachusetts in April.
There are some dark horses, too. Notre Dame College came up with some good showings and if they start well their Round of 16 meeting with (probably) Dartmouth could be a good one. Iowa State vs Louisville is a first-round of conference champions and one of those will be targeting Kutztown. Army vs Air Force in the first round is another worth looking at. Notre Dame could surprise and so could Wheeling.
