With the field for the 2023 men's NCAA tournament now official, we're breaking down each team in the bracket in the lead-up to the tournament. Here's what you need to know about the Midwest region.
The Cougars are the favorites to win the national title thanks to a decent draw and a team that ranks exceptionally high in both offensive and defensive metrics. The Cougars are the top team in KenPom.com’s rankings and rank sixth in offensive rating and first in defensive rating in Sports Reference’s metrics.
But there is a slight reason for concern with Houston. Marcus Sasser missed the AAC title game because of a groin injury and his status for the NCAA tournament is unclear. Sasser is the AAC Player of the Year and averages 17 points a game. Houston has more than enough talent to get to the Sweet 16 without him, but he’s going to need to be on the court in the Sweet 16 and beyond if Houston is going to live up to its favorite status.
