US EditionTim Cowlishaw: Don’t let Texas sneaking into March Madness distract you from Lone Star State contenders
- The 68-team men's bracket was announced on Sunday afternoon, establishing the Road to the Alamodome.
- Texas and Oklahoma were newcomers to the league, and Texas' first year in the Southeastern Conference proved less daunting in football than in basketball, where the Longhorns finished 6-12 in league play, the same as Oklahoma.
- All 16 SEC teams were invited to play in the conference tournament in Nashville, but only two were omitted from the men's tournament bracket, with Texas qualifying last after securing a second victory over Texas A&M.
- Despite an unsightly 19-15 record, the Texas Longhorns received an at-large bid to the tournament as an 11 seed and will play Xavier, also an 11 seed, on Wednesday night, with the winner advancing to play Illinois in Milwaukee on Friday.
- Houston, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M are aiming to reach San Antonio in early April, with Texas A&M, earning a 4th seed in the South Region, positioned well to advance, while Houston went 15-3 to win the Big 12 in its inaugural season and then topped that by going 19-1.
