How They Got Here
Karl Nicholas scored 16 points and pulled down 12 rebounds as Texas Southern placed five in double-figure scoring to upset top-seeded Prairie View A&M 80-61 in the Southwest Athletic Conference championship game Saturday night.
Jordan Gilliam and Justin Hopkins each scored 15 points for the third-seeded Tigers (16-8), Michael Weathers added 13 and John Walker II 10. Texas Southern shot 51% (29 of 57), adding 19 of 27 at the free-throw line.
Texas Southern is 1-8 in the NCAA Tournament, defeating North Carolina Central in the 2018 First Four for its lone win.
Michigan narrowly missed having its highest regular-season winning percentage ever after a one-point loss to Ohio State in the Big Ten tournament to finish 20-4. The Wolverines are the top seed in the East; it's their first No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament since 1993.
