This anticipated showdown would mark a rematch of the Big 12 conference title game, where the Cyclones secured a commanding 28-point victory over the Cougars.

In addition to his bold prediction for Houston, Dell has made several other noteworthy selections in his bracket. He foresees the No. 7-seeded Texas Longhorns advancing to the Elite Eight, showcasing his belief in the team's potential to make a deep tournament run. 

Dell is also banking on underdog victories, tipping No. 11-seeded Oregon to upset both No. 6-seeded South Carolina and No. 3-seeded Creighton. 

Furthermore, he predicts a Cinderella story for No. 12-seeded UAB, forecasting them to pull off an upset over No. 5-seeded San Diego State in the first round.
