Texas Southern basketball is the worst team to make March Madness this season. The Tigers got hot at the right time to set up the strangest matchup of the entire NCAA Tournament, and mark the return of the best dancing mascot in the country!
Texas Southern, which had just nine Division-I wins in 2022/23, finished the regular season at 11-20. It somehow beat Arizona State back in November, but got obliterated by Oral Roberts, Houston, Auburn and Kansas in four of its next five games.
Two of its wins included Huston-Tillotson and North American. Who? Exactly.

The move was the first big blockbuster of the NFL offseason.
For the second straight year, the Dolphins made a splash trade as Miami has reportedly acquired cornerback Jalen Ramsey from the Rams. The move gives Miami another star player, alongside last year’s acquisitions of wide receiver Tyreek Hill and pass rusher Bradley Chubb.
The trade comes just days before free agency opens up in the NFL, and there is a chance that Ramsey is just the first of many big names to be on the move. Additionally, Miami continues to load up as it tries to dethrone the Bills at the top of the AFC East.
The six-time Pro Bowl cornerback joins Vic Fangio’s heavy zone scheme with Xavien Howard, giving Miami one of the best cover tandems in the NFL.
