Texas Longhorns
Yes, they have good if not great guard play and average almost 80 points but this team is ripe for a quick exit from the NCAA tournament. First and foremost they only go about 7 deep and if anybody remembers Duke from last year you'll need more than 7 players to advance in the tournament. If there's an injury or foul trouble suddenly they're really screwed. Secondly, although their guards are superb they both average more than 35 minutes a game. If pressed and forced out of their game plan, see Badgers, Wisconsin, they'll tire out and be less effective down the stretch. Don't be fooled by their 16-3 record, this team is vastly overrated. I predict they lose a couple more games in conference, probably to Kansas and Kansas State and get a forth seed in the Midwest bracket. Against a well coached 13 seeded team this team is in trouble and if that 13th seed happens to be Davidson, Oral Roberts, or South Alabama I'm predicting the upset.
