What you need to know about every team in the NCAA tournament

SI breaks down each team in the NCAA tournament, from No. 1 overall seed Kansas to No. 16 Florida Gulf Coast.

Everybody has a preferred method for picking winners in the NCAA tournament. Do you favor teams with great guards or dominant big men? Teams with championship coaches or ones entering the tournament on a hot streak? And, most importantly, teams with animals for mascots or people? We can't help you with the latter, but for everything else, for the third straight year we present our team-by-team guide to the NCAA tournament. Each breakdown includes stats, analysis and video to help you fill out your bracket.
