Texas basketball 'last' in according to NCAA bracket predictions

[ASFN Admin]

Is the Texas Longhorns Men's Basketball team going to make the NCAA Tournament? If they do, it will be close. Very close. According to two major bracket forecasts, Texas will be one of, if not the, last team in.

According to USA TODAY Sports' Bracketology, Texas is one of the "last four in" and are predicted to get a No. 11 seed in the South Region. The Longhorns would have to compete in the play-in game to make the final field.

ESPN's Joe Lunardi has a similar prediction. Lunardi says Texas is literally the "last team in" the Big Dance.

But the Longhorns spot in March Madness is anything but a sure thing. These are just predictions. There are also a couple conference championship games today that would impact UT's chances. If Dayton upsets VCU to win the Atlantic 10 title, that would take a spot from the bubble teams and Texas might get bumped out of the field.

We'll get the final verdict tonight at 5 p.m. CT during the NCAA Tournament Selections Show on CBS.
