Which current bubble team could do the most damage if it can crack the NCAA tournament field?

Bilas: If by "bubble team" you mean a double-digit seed, I would say Tennessee, Minnesota and Oklahoma. All three are good offensive teams that have the ability to score, but have had issues on the defensive end. In the NCAA tournament, having the ability to score can help take a team to the second weekend. But, if you don't defend really well, that's as far as you can go.
 

In what world is Oklahoma going to be a double digit seed? Does he mean OK State?
 

I don't have insider so couldn't read the actual article but based on the quote I guess I have a different definition of doing damage in the tourney. I don't think a one and done is doing much damage at all.

He definitely meant Oklahoma. Here is the next paragraph:

"Oklahoma has Buddy Hield and Cameron Clark, both of whom can really score, and Tennessee has Jordan McRae and Jarnell Stokes. Tennesse is an excellent offensive rebunding team that can cause a lot of problems if they can get hot in March."

He must think Oklahoma is a dark horse to win the Big 12 tournament...I guess??
 

The Gophers could do damage to rims if they keep shooting like this.

Oklahoma is probably a 6 or 7 seed as of today.

Yeah, my bad, I was looking at their stats from last year. I was thinking it was strange that he was talking so favorably about a squad with a 138 (or whatever) RPI.
