#6 Buffalo
After a stellar season that finished with a 31-3 record and the fourth MAC Tournament title in five years, the Buffalo Bulls arrive in the NCAA Tournament as a potential dark horse pick for a very deep run in March Madness. Statement wins over Syracuse and West Virginia this season show that the Bulls are ready to make noise in the Big Dance, and after tasting victory in the tournament for the first time last year with an upset of Arizona, and following that with a win over Arizona State in the first round this year, Buffalo is ready to take it one step forward to the Sweet Sixteen. Buffalo takes care of the ball and works really hard on defense, and although their poor three-point shooting may cause them to fall behind, they’re still talented and deep enough to cause problems for any team.
#3 Texas Tech
After sealing their first ever trip to the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight in 2018, Texas Tech’s Red Raiders return to the big show in 2019 hoping they can mimic that performance and more. Coach Chris Beard is in his third season at the college and has qualified for the NCAA Tournament in the last two of those, not to mention winning the Big 12’s regular season championship this term. They opened their round of 64 against No. 14 Northern Kentucky on Friday and dispatched the Norse fairly easily. The Big 12 Tournament didn’t go as smoothly for Beard’s side, who followed up an impressive 26-6 season (14-4 in the Big 12) by losing 79-74 to No. 10 West Virginia in the first round of the contest. Texas Tech has featured in three of the past four NCAA Tournaments (including 2019) and hope this will be the year they can make a first-ever appearance in the Final Four.
