The Houston Cougars have the best chance of making the second weekend, followed by the TCU Horned Frogs. But the path to the Sweet Sixteen is a rocky one for a 6-seed, unless and until the 14 knocks out the 3. Both Houston and TCU are rooting for fellow NBKers Montana and Bucknell, respectively.
Of the longer-shots, Buffalo has the best of the worst odds, as they are given a 7.1% chance of plowing through two sets of Wildcats.
