Why they're dangerous: The Jackets have two first-round picks in their starting lineup -- center Derrick Favors and forward [Gani] Lawal. Favors is coming on late in his freshman year, averaging 17.1 points and 9.8 rebounds in his last eight games. The Jackets would be higher on this list if not for being sent to the brutal Midwest Region, where they will have to survive Oklahoma State and Ohio State to reach the Sweet 16.
Stat that matters: Georgia Tech is seventh in the nation in field goal percentage defense at 38.2 and held all four opponents in the ACC tournament under 40 percent shooting.
