1. FLORIDA (32-2) Conference: SEC PPG: 70.7 | OPP: 57.9 Post-ing up: Depth, experience, versatility, size, long-range shooting — name it, Florida does it. The Gators ran away with the SEC regular-season crown and have emerged as a favorite to cutdown the nets in Dallas.

16. ALBANY (18-14) Conf.: America East | PPG: 65.9 | OPP: 64.0 Post-ing up: The Great Danes are in the tourney for the second straight year. What Albany lacks in talent, it makes up for with clutch play.

16. MT. ST. MARY'S (16-16) Conf.: Northeast | PPG: 76.2 | OPP: 78.0 Post-ing up: The Mountaineers finished with four straight wins, going on the road to win the conference semis and finals.

8. COLORADO (23-11) Conference: Pac-12 PPG: 70.9 | OPP: 67.9 Post-ing up: Colorado lost its best player, Spencer Dinwiddie, to a torn ACL Jan. 12, yet rallied to reach its third straight NCAA Tournament. Sophomore forwards Josh Scott and Xavier Johnson have emerged.

12. STEPHEN F. AUSTIN (31-2) Conference: Southland PPG: 76.5 | OPP: 62.6 Post-ing up: The Lumberjacks opened the season with three wins in their first five games, but then won 28 straight to reach their first NCAA Tournament since 2009.

4. UCLA (26-8) Conference: Pac-12 PPG: 81.8 | OPP: 71.0 Post-ing up: Fun to watch but weak defensively, UCLA will need to score big to win. The Bruins are capable of putting on a show — as they did in winning the Pac-12 conference tournament.

13. TULSA (21-12) Conf.: C-USA PPG: 73.1 | OPP: 67.4 Post-ing up: It wasn't supposed to happen this fast for Tulsa and second-year coach Danny Manning. His three sophomore stars, however, emerged quicker than expected, ripping off 11 wins to close the regular season.

3. SYRACUSE (27-5) Conference: ACC PPG: 68.2 | OPP: 59.3 Post-ing up: The Orange opened the season with a school-record 25 wins, but lost four of their final six games of the regular season. With Jerami Grant back from injury, Syracuse could make its second straight Final Four.

6. OHIO STATE (25-9) Conference: Big Ten PPG: 69.8 | OPP: 59.8 Post-ing up: The Buckeyes season began with 15 consecutive wins and followed that with five losses in six games, finishing fifth in the conference and with the seventh-best scoring defense in the nation.

11. DAYTON (23-10) Conf.: Atlantic 10 PPG: 73.6 | OPP: 67.6 Post-ing up: Transfer Jordan Sibert couldn't get off the bench at Ohio State, but his shooting touch hasn't gone to waste for the Flyers, who have won nine of their last 10 regular-season games.

7. NEW MEXICO (27-6) Conference: Mountain West PPG: 74.6 | OPP: 66.4 Post-ing up: New Mexico won't overlook its first foe this year, not after it was stunned by Harvard last March. This veteran group, led by Cameron Bairstow and Kendall Williams, is eyeing a big run.
