Texas (26-8, 12-6 Big 12) will bring a four-game winning streak into the NCAA Tournament, and interim head coach Rodney Terry has done a great job of keeping the team on track after the removal of Chris Beard early in the season.

Colgate (26-8, 17-1 Patriot) won nine consecutive games and rolled through the Patriot League without many issues to qualify for the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in a row. The Raiders have five players averaging double-digit points, and Tucker Richardson is the team leader in points (13.9), assists (5.8) and steals (2.1) per game.
