The Cowboys seem to have lost a grip on this season after their loss to UNLV on Saturday. This team was poised for an NCAA tournament run, but the team cannot seem to figure it out, even with Larry Nance Jr. back in the lineup. Don't be surprised if Wyoming loses in the first round of the MWC tournament.

The Bulldogs had two bad losses in February against Auburn and South Carolina, and they might end up playing one of those two teams again the SEC tournament. The Bulldogs will be leaving the conference tournament early this year.

8. BYU Cougars

The Cougars are coming off one of the biggest upsets of the season after they defeated Gonzaga on the road, but this team will not win the WCC tournament title. Gonzaga is still the best team in the WCC, and the Cougars will not beat them again.

7. Ohio State Buckeyes

Plain and simple, if D'Angelo Russell plays well, the Buckeyes have a good shot at winning, but if not, then the team could lose to anyone. Russell has struggled in some games this season and will have a lot of pressure on him during the Big Ten tournament, which is why the Buckeyes might disappoint.

6. Oregon Ducks

The Pac-12 has plenty of teams that think they can win the conference tournament, and Oregon has a target on their back. Stanford, Oregon State and UCLA are going to try and send the Ducks packing early.

5. Notre Dame Fighting Irish

The Fighting Irish have lost a little momentum heading into the last week of conference play, which could lead to an early exit in the ACC tournament.

The Rams are not the same without Briante Weber. The team could possibly lose to any opponent in the Atlantic 10 conference tournament, which is very disappointing.

3. Texas Longhorns

The Longhorns have been one of the most disappointing teams of the whole season. They have so much talent, but they cannot seem to get it together. This team will continue to disappoint with an early exit in the Big 12 tournament.

2. Maryland Terrapins

The Terrapins have proven that they can compete with anyone in the country after their huge victory over Wisconsin, but the Big Ten has been tricky to predict this season. There are many teams that can knock off anyone in the conference, which is why Maryland could disappoint fans everywhere.

1. Louisville Cardinals

Louisville has been very unpredictable this season, but don't expect the Cardinals to make a deep run in the ACC tournament. This team will get knocked out early in the tournament because they are still trying to figure out their true identity after the dismissal of Chris Jones.
