Houston will do well in the tournament, but they are a different team now that they are down three players. They lose their best defender (Tugler) in the Big XII semi and another key player (Roberts) is banged up and couldn't make it through much of the same semi & only played 13 minutes in today's final (and was well under his averages). They'll beat the 16 seed going away, but those types of injuries are just tough for anyone to overcome and I think they're vulnerable as soon as the 8/9 game.

Marquette's second-leading scorer will be back for the tournament, but they have another important player (averages over 8 and 4 in over 25 minutes per game) that was also not at 100% today (shoulder) after getting folded on a screen in the Providence game.

Just something to keep an eye on for two of the teams that we all picked when most of this information wasn't known.
