Omaha will play de-facto host to the East Region on Thursday and Saturday. All eight teams descending on Nebraska are part of the East Region, spearheaded by 2-seed Iowa State.
The Big 12 tournament champions will face 15-seed South Dakota State with the winner advancing to play either 7-seed Washington State or 10-seed Drake.
In the other Omaha pod — though still in the East bracket — 3-seed Illinois will open up against 14-seed Morehead State. They are joined by 6-seed BYU and 11-seed Duquesne. Two of the these eight will advance to the East Regional to be played in Boston.
