About No. 2 Cincinnati
The Bearcats won the outright AAC title with a 16-2 record -- and they entered Selection Sunday without a single loss to a sub-25 KenPom team. In other words, they've been excellent all season. And they're terrific defensively. They're killers on both ends of the court, tough and strong. This is probably Mick Cronin's best team. Consider them for a dark horse Final Four pick.
About No. 15 Georgia St.
Last time Georgia State was in the NCAA Tournament in 2015, the No. 14 seed Panthers stunned No. 3 seed Baylor with a 3-pointer at the buzzer. This team has the makings of a Cinderella team, too, boasting a top-20 3-point scorer in the country in Devin Mitchell and a true bucket-getter in D'Marcus Simonds. Their fearsome backcourt could wreak havoc and create fear in the minds of Cincinnati.
