Scheda Torneo Eng
Iowa State Cyclones #5
Monte Morris and three point shooting was the Cyclones winning strategy this season, but weird things always happen in the tournament.
Vanderbilt Commodores #9
Vanderbilt can play a five-out lineup that includes 7-1 center Luke Kornet and they have momentum coming into the tournament.
New Orleans Privateers #16
The Privateers won their first Southland tournament in history and got an invitation to the Ncaa tournament for the first time in 20 years.
Vermont Catamounts #13
Vermont is a deep, solid and well organized team in search of national exposure and led by a talented freshman in Anthony Lamb.
Kansas State Wildcats #11
The Wildcats had an awful regular season but the Big 12 tournament proved that, on the right night, they can win against just about anyone.
Kentucky Wildcats #2
The Wildcats are overflowing with talent but lack the experience. They might reach the Final Four, lose in the first round or anything in between.
VCU Rams #10
Only one player over 6-5 for one of the shortest team in the tournament. VCU’s strengths are athleticism, pace and depth.
Wisconsin Badgers #8
A solid, experienced teams with three leaders and a good supporting cast. Koenig and Hayes would love to finish their college career on a high note.
Cincinnati Bearcats #6
Defense has always been an area of strength. but Cincinnati can now rely on the best offense since coach Cronin took over the bench.
Arkansas Razorbacks #8
Arkansas is an offense-first team led by a trio of guards and a solid interior presence in Moses Kingsley. Will it be enough?
SMU Mustangs #6
It was a great first year together for coach Jankovic and Ojeleye. The Mustangs will be underdogs in the Ncaa tournament.
Michigan Wolverines #7
A win in the Big Ten tournament forced a change of perspective on the Wolverines season, who reach the tournament with great momentum.
Villanova Wildcats #1
Villanova has a real chance to repeat. Nobody played the defending champions well enough to be trouble, and they are in great shape.
Wake Forest Demon Deacons #11
John Collins is the best PF in the Ncaa and literally carried Wake Forest to the tournament after a 7-year absence. Will they pull an upset?
Rhode Island Rams #11
It was an up-and-down season for Rhode Island, but the team figured things out, won the A-10 tournament and entered the tournament with momentum.
Kent State Golden Flashes #14
Kent State will play UCLA in the first round, and will probably lose. But if they somehow had to win, the Sweet 16 are more than just a dream.
UC Davis Aggies #16
A non-existent offense and an honest defense will not be of much help against Kansas, but Chima Moneke is one of the best rebounders in the Ncaa.
Troy Trojans #15
Last season, Troy finished with a total of 9 wins. This season saw them winning 22 games, the Sun Belt tournament and a spot in the tournament.
Texas Southern Tigers #16
There are no senior among the Tigers top players but the team future is bright. They will be fun, now and in the next years.
