Potential NCAA Opponents Based On Pace

As we count down to the release of brackets on Selection Sunday, the most important thing to remember is this: Match-ups are more important than seeding.

With Notre Dame's new reduced pace, they have the ability to drive teams that play fast insane and completely take them out of their game.  Conversely, teams that are used to playing slow will gladly trade 33-second possessions with the Irish.  Here's a few of each, using KenPom's pace numbers:

POTENTIAL TOURNAMENT TEAMS THAT PLAY FAST:

10. Washington

11. BYU

12. Villanova

14. Texas

28. Kansas State

36. Xavier

39. Syracuse

40. Missouri

48. Georgia Tech

49. Wake Forest

 

POTENTIAL TOURNAMENT TEAMS THAT PLAY SLOW:

341. Wisconsin

333. Temple

332. Pittsburgh

331. Utah State

305. Marquette

301. West Virginia
