About No. 1 Xavier
The Musketeers made program history with their first regular season Big East title. Chris Mack's team made a surprising run to the Elite Eight last year. Now this group is good enough to win a national title. Trevon Bluiett is one of the sport's most clutch performers.
About No. 16 Texas Southern
Texas Southern began its season 0-13 -- yes, 0-13! -- before turning things around and finishing the season 15-6, culminating with a SWAC tournament championship win over Arkansas Pine Bluff. The Tigers haven't lost in nearly a month, and enter the Big Dance on a seven game winning streak, plus a play-in win over NC Central.
