They won't even beat TAMU. |

Honestly yes Texas has a chance to. Texas lost to A&M early in the season when Texas was the most disorganized team I've ever seen play basketball (anyone who watched that game can attest to that) but now Texas has transformed to a solid team up to the challenge. |

NIU is 12-1 in their last 13 games. In that span they played Wichita State three times, and Evansville three times. In January, they went on a 4 game skid with bad losses to Indiana State, Loyola (CHI), Wichita State, and Illinois State.

Record against Baylor: (W/L/L)
Record against Oklahoma: (W/L)
Record against Kansas: (L twice)
Record against Iowa State: (W/L)
There's no question at all Texas has had a way better SOS in the tough Big 12. However, NIU has seemed to gotten themselves together within the last 13 games, while Texas has faced way tougher match-ups and gone about .500 in those amount of games. Both teams upset UNC, and both teams beat Iowa State. There's no doubt Shaka Smart has experience in the tournament, but I would pick NIU for the sheer reason that they are barely even talked about and have gotten themselves out of a 10-11 hole early in the basketball season.

NIU is 11th in total defense.
Texas is 222nd in PPG.
Sorry Texas fans, this is a matchup nightmare.

GB is a lot better than you think. TAMU isn't AS good as they seem. It'll be close. Tbh, I think TAMU has the better chance, but one game every year ufcks everyone over, this is my pick of that game. |
