Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce reveals his Cinderella team in the NCAA Tournament
Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce reveals his Cinderella team in the NCAA Tournament The appreciation for basketball isn't lost on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce as Match Madness is underway in college basketball. During the most recent episode of New Heights, Kelce revealed his favorite team to watch in this year's NCAA Tournament. "The West has one of my favorite teams in the NCAA right now, and that's Drake. Drake University they have a fun story. Their coach and at least four of their players are from Division II." said Kelce. "They got some guys that could play, although I think Missouri is a really good team, and that's going to be a tough game for them. That's like my Cinderella team this year. I'm rooting for them." The Bulldogs are fresh off their best regular season in years, capturing the Missouri Valley regular season and tournament championships. Their 30-3 record is impressive, although they didn't have many high-quality wins from the season, resulting in their low seed to start the tournament as an underdog. The Cincinnati Bearcats didn't qualify for this year's tournament, so the Kelce brothers don't have their alma mater to support. The number 11-seeded Drake opens tournament play against 6-seeded Missouri on Thursday, with many Kansas City locals likely to support the Tigers.
