North Dakota Fighting Hawks #15

Scheda Torneo Eng
Miami Hurricanes #8
A great coach, two seniors who can score and rebounds, a streaky freshman and wins against UNC, Duke and Virginia. The tournament awaits.
USC Trojans #11
Coach Enfield led USC to the tournament for the second consecutive year. They will fight against anyone, but lack the talent for a deep run.
Marquette Golden Eagles #10
Marquette is an offense-first team with plenty of good players sharing the ball and no real star. Markus Howard, however, might soon be their best player.
Oklahoma State Cowboys #10
Evans and the Cowboys are the perfect combination. Their offense is great and they might land an upset or two before bowing to a superior team.
Providence Friars #11
Providence is a completely different teams when compared to last season, but Kyron Cartwirght seems to be as good as Kris Dunn for this team.
Virginia Tech Hokies #9
The Hokies gameplan is made of hustle, outside shooting and defensive switches. They will be a tough team to handle for anyone.
Virginia Cavaliers #5
Best defense in the nation and dysfunctional offense for the Cavaliers is a combination that will not bring them too far in the tournament.
Butler Bulldogs #4
Setting the pace, tight defense and a great scorer on the wing. Butler’s recipe to dream big in the tournament is simple. Will it be effective?
Baylor Bears #3
Baylor showed two faces this season: a dominant group in the first half, a midde-of-the-pack team in the Big 12. Which one will show up?
Louisville Cardinals #2
The Cardinals’ defense is great, their shooting comes and goes. Coach Pitino can lead them to a win against anyone, but can they reach the Final Four?
Winthrop Eagles #13
Johnson and Cooks led the Eagles to win the Big South tournament and to the Big Dance. And now, they dream to upset their first round opponent. Again.
South Dakota State Jackrabbits #16
The Jackrabbits are Mike Daum’s team and will go as far as he carries them. Their offense can be great, but Daum will need some help.
Saint Mary’s Gaels #7
One of the best teams in the Mid-Major conferences. Gonzaga is rival number 1 but the Gaels might put together a good tournament run.
Northern Kentucky Norse #15
George Clooney’s college earned an invitation to the Big Dance for the first time in history, after only a couple of years in Division I.
Mount St Mary Mountaineers #16
They had a tough start of the season but the Mountaineers found their rhythm and won both the regular season the Northeast tournament.
Gonzaga Bulldogs #1
Nobody imagined the Zags would be this good this season, and yet, the Bulldogs are one of the top team and a serious candidate to reach the Final Four.
East Tennessee State Buccaneers #13
The SoCon champions are very well organized and will rely on T.J. Cromer talent on offense to be more than an afterthought in the tournament.
Bucknell Bison #13
The Patriot League champion are a solid if unspectacular team, and Nana Foulland is the kind of player that might have a role in the Nba.
Wichita State Shockers #10
Wichita State’s efficient brand of basketball proved to be enough to win the MCV and will be the kind of team nobody wants to face.
