Texas earns a No. 2 seed, faces No. 15 Colgate in the Round of 64

No. 2 Texas will take on No. 15 Colgate on Thursday. The winner will face No. 7 Texas A&M or No. 10 Penn State.

The Texas Longhorns (26-8) dance their way onto the No. 2 line this March. They’ll face the Colgate Raiders (26-8) on Thursday in the Round of 64. The game will test the Longhorns’ ability to defend against three-point shots.

Colgate is known for two things: Elite experience and long range shooting. The Raiders are the best three-point shooting team in the nation, shooting a scorching 40% as a team.

The bigger story is who the Longhorns could face in their second game. The No. 7 seeded Texas A&M Aggies face the No. 10 Penn State Nittany Lions, another proficient three-point shooting team. Penn State nearly came back to defeat Purdue in its Big Ten Tournament final game.

For the Aggies, Wade Taylor IV is the type of talent that could carry the team on his back. Taylor fits the Kemba Walker mold among players who can take over games in March.

Having seen No. 15 St. Peters upset No. 2 Kentucky last season we won’t rule out the possibility of an upset. Albeit, it’s hard not to look forward to a potential Lone Star Showdown with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line.

Michigan State ranked No. 7 in latest NCAA NET Rankings

The Spartans rank high in one of the tools the NCAA Selection Committee uses to seed the NCAA Tournament

The folks over at the NCAA are taking notice of Michigan State’s late-season surge.

The Michigan State men’s basketball team has moved up to No. 7 in the NCAA’s NET Rankings–the highest ranking of any Big Ten team.

The NET Rankings–or NCAA Evaluation Tool for those of you that despise brevity–are used by the NCAA Tournament selection committee to help sort out which teams should be ranked where. It uses a number of measure, including strength of schedule, victory margin, efficiencies, and location of games to create a more accurate ranking of college basketball teams. The NET Rankings are not the end-all be-all when it comes to the final rankings and determining seeds, but it does play a major factor.

Many of the most recent brackets have Michigan State either as a low three seed or high four seed, so it looks like the NET Rankings like the Spartans a little bit more than the bracketologists think the committee will. It will all become moot next Sunday–Selection Sunday–when the official bracket is revealed.

No. 16 Michigan State hosts No. 19 Ohio State Sunday (4:30 CBS) with a chance to win their third consecutive Big Ten title.
