Louisville, Creighton, and Marquette eye NCAA Tournament success
Three college basketball teams are being highlighted as potential underdogs in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. Last year, NC State made a surprising run to the Final Four as an 11-seed, and this year, similar stories are expected. The Louisville Cardinals, under first-year coach Pat Kelsey, have a completely new roster and are led by transfer Chuck Hepburn. Their strong team chemistry and recent momentum could lead to a deep tournament run. The Creighton Blue Jays and Marquette Golden Eagles are also seen as contenders. Creighton, led by Ryan Kalkbrenner, has strong momentum after reaching the Big East Tournament final. Marquette's Kam Jones is a standout player who can change the game with his scoring ability.
