A&M, the bracket is set up nicely for them outside of Louisville in Lexington.

(3) Texas A&M - A matchup with Memphis in the Sweet 16 and Ohio State in the Elite 8 could definitely keep them from the Final Four. Ohio St's toughest game could be in the 2nd round against a physical Xavier team. Other than that, they'll have an easier route to the Elite 8 than the Ags will and that could prove to be the difference.

Best Case Scenario: National Championship
Worst Case Scenario: 2nd Round loss to Louisville

(4) Texas - You have to expect them to be in the Sweet 16. Hansbrough hasn't played as well for UNC since breaking his nose and that could really open up the inside for Durant, James, Pittman, and Hill. UNC will face a tough 2nd round game from the survivor of the Croon/Izzo game and this could pose a serious challenge to them if they aren't on top of their game.

Best Case Scenario: National Championship Game Loss vs Florida/Wisconsin/Kansas/UCLA
Worst Case Scenario: 2nd Round Loss to USC

(10) Texas Tech - They face a very tough 1st round matchup vs a physical Boston College team. Whereas Tech isn't a very deep team that tends not to match up well vs physical opponents, they're results have been pretty good against that style of basketball. Even if they get past BC, a 2nd round game vs a "flying under the radar" Georgetown team would likely spell the end of the road for the Red Raiders. JJ has been playing great lately but unless somebody else (Burgess/Dora/Zeno) can get hot at the right time...their only other weapon is the tourney experience of Coach Bobby Knight.

Best Case Scenario: Elite Eight Loss to UNC/Marquette/Mich State/Texas
Worst Case Scenario: 1st Round Loss to Boston College

(15) North Texas - Congrats on qualifying for the NCAA tourney. Enjoy the trip...take pictures...remember the experience forever. A win vs Memphis just isn't in the cards for the Mean Green

Best Case Scenario: A single digit loss to Memphis
Worst Case Scenario: A 30+ point blowout loss to Memphis

(15) Texas A&M Corpus Christi - Congrats on qualifying for the NCAA tourney in your 1st year in the Southland Conference. Getting stuck with a #15 seed stinks since you could just as easily have been a 13 or 14. Even worse, you are playing Wisconsin who has a very powerful inside game and the ability to control the boards and tempo of the game. That being said, there is hope. 4 other 15 seeds have won their 1st round game over a 2 seed.

Best Case Scenario: Pull "the magical upset" over Wisconsin and keep it going vs a mediocore Ga Tech squad.
Worst Case Scenario: Scoring below 40 points vs Wisconsin

A first round win by either North Texas or Texas A&M CC would be great. And here is the biggest thing- unlike the crappy football system used to choose a National Champ, at least Basketball settles the question on the court. Good luck to all the teams from Texas -- yeah I said it even the Longhorns who I gotta admit have the best basketball player in the country this year, he convinced me of that in the Big 12 Tourney, Baylor could have beat Texas - but not Durant. Okie State, too....

Acie Law and the aggies man I hope they get to the final 4

but thank goodness that kid at Austin is leaving soon.
