"I'm more than excited," Alexander said. "I'm excited to go to California. I'm excited to see them play. I'm excited to play in California. I mean, what kid gets to say they've played bass in California, you know?"
Some people in downtown Columbia are already prepping brackets for this month's games. Brandon Wydra said he's getting together with his friends to organize his bracket.Â
"It's gonna be fun, pretty exciting season so far," Wydra said. "I can't wait for the post-season, hopefully get a couple of wins even though we are seventh seed. We just got to get through Utah State first."
