In case you were wondering, UC Davis went 1-3 against NCAA Tournament teams this year. Here's the breakdown:
Jackson State is the 16th seed in the Midwest Regional, and will take on Florida in the first round. It's hard to see this ending well for the Tigers. But Jackson State does have Trey Johnson, and when you have a scorer like that you're always have a chance to make things interesting. UCD beat the Tigers 66-58 on Dec. 2.
Long Beach State won the Big West Tournament and will represent the conference as the 12th seed in the South Regional, drawing Tennessee. Long Beach is a worthy champion, and were the best team I saw during the second round of conference play. On first glance, you see 12th seed and think, "Oh, upset game." To be perfectly honest, I have a hard time seeing it. Long Beach needs to run to be successful, and that sort of plays into the hands of a team like the Vols. Long Beach won both meetings, 89-75 at The Pavilion and 102-77 at The Pyramid.
Stanford is also in as the 11th seed in the South Regional. The Cardinal beat the Aggies 84-72 on Nov. 28.
