10 Struggling Teams Entering the 2018 NCAA Tournament

Texas A&M Aggies

The Texas A&M Aggies have an absolutely loaded frontcourt, headlined by Tyler Davis and Robert Williams. But they get very little from their guards, and this problem is only accentuated by the fact that Duane Wilson, who led the team in assists per game, suffered a season-ending injury on February 12th. J.J. Caldwell, who was second on the squad in assists, was kicked off the team just a day earlier.

These two guys aren't creating opportunities for their teammates like Devonte Graham can, but for a team that can't get open looks off the pass, the loss of Wilson and Caldwell almost simultaneously had a significant impact. They went 3-4 in their final seven games, with their only win versus a tournament team coming against Alabama in the regular-season finale, who they promptly lost to just five days later in the SEC Tournament.

If the Aggies win their Round of 64 matchup against the Providence Friars, it will likely be due to their dominant duo up front. With no depth or high-quality players in the backcourt, though, the Tar Heels would be a near lock against them in a potential Second Round matchup.
