Baylor, TCU and Texas A&M-CC don't have easy roads to Houston for Final Four
Texas A&M Corpus Christi head coach Steve Lutz cuts down the net after his team defeated Northwestern State during an NCAA college basketball game in the finals of the Southland Conference men's tournament in Lake Charles, La., Wednesday, March 8, 2023. But with Houston, Texas and Texas A&M all grouped in the Midwest Region, the prospect of an all-Texas Final Four at NRG is pretty much out the window, unless No. 16 seed TSU gets on a roll in the East Region.
Here's how the other Texas schools in the tournament are seeded and their prospects for making it to Houston:Baylor, which won the 2021 title, will open against UC Santa Barbara . After that, potential obstacles on the way to Houston would be Creighton in the second round, No. 2 seed Arizona in the Sweet 16 and then perhaps top overall seed Alabama.Defense has been the big issue for Scott Drew's team.
The key for TCU, which has shown itself capable of big wins is the helath of Mike Miles Jr., who missed five games with a knee injury. He returned for last five of regular season but his shooting was off. Jamie Dixon's team faces a hard road to Houston with No. 3 Gonzaga looming in second round and No. 2 UCLA and No. 1 Kansas in the Sweet 16.The Islanders won the Southland Conference tournament, played this year in Lake Charles, La., instead of its former home in Katy.
