Tank Dell, wide receiver for the Houston Texans and former standout for the Houston Cougars is placing his faith in his alma mater to clinch the NCAA Division I men’s basketball championship this season.
Dell's confidence is evident in his bracket as he predicts the No. 1-seeded Houston Cougars to navigate their way to the NCAA championship game and ultimately emerge victorious against the No. 2-seeded Iowa State Cyclones.
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.
