The Cavaliers are coming off a strong debut season for head coach Ryan Odom, as they finished 30-6 and narrowly lost to Tennessee in the Round of 32. They’re widely projected as a top-15 team entering next season, so this will be a major challenge for the Wildcats.

The Rothstein 45 has the Cavaliers ranked No. 9.
