In a bad season, Texas manages a 7 seed in the NCAA tournament. Let this serve as a reminder that Texas Tech fails to catch invites to the NIT in their down years. https://t.co/BcBAeFZb4e

Fans start to give their analysis
Gut Reaction: Love catching NC State in Round one. Should be an incredible game. Love the Fathlete action with Burns and the nation will be rooting for the Wolfpack. Texas Tech vs the world is a great position to be in.

If Kentucky gets past its second game (Texas Tech, which is a really solid team, good enough offensively to pose a problem and well-coached), it's going to the Elite Eight. Marquette is a good matchup for Kentucky.

Pretty tough draw for the Red Raiders. Get a hot NC State team and if you win that Kentucky should be waiting for you in the round of 32. Let’s see what we can do #WreckEm
