Sometime before 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, the NCAA tournament selection committee will send CBS a completed bracket to unveil on its selection show.
Marquee wins: Kansas , Gonzaga, Creighton, Baylor, TCU , at Kansas State, Iowa State, West Virginia
What makes Texas a long shot to overtake both Purdue and UCLA is its eight losses, one more than any previous No. 1 seed has had entering Selection Sunday. Not one of those losses, however, is outside Quadrant 1. Only one, at Texas Tech, came against a non-NCAA tournament team. Houston, by contrast, is No. 1 in every major metric entering Sunday’s matchup with Memphis in the American Athletic Conference title game. The Cougars also have the fewest losses of any team in the nation, though one of them is an ugly Quadrant 3 loss at home against middling Temple.
Entering a rematch with Texas A&M in Sunday’s SEC tournament title game, Alabama is 28-5 overall with 11 Quadrant 1 wins, no losses outside the top quadrant and a top-three ranking in both the NET and KenPom. The Crimson Tide have a head-to-head win at Houston. A 24-point loss at sub-.500 Oklahoma is the only significant blight on their resume.
