Analyst has Temple, La Salle, and Villanova in NCAA tourney

Posted: February 20, 2013

Jerry Palm has faith in Temple.

The CBSSports.com college basketball analyst believes the Owls (17-8) would receive the South Regional's No. 11 seed in the NCAA tournament if the field were picked today.

Palm, who has been making tournament predictions since 1994, also has La Salle and Villanova in the field of 68.

The Explorers (18-6) are Palm's No. 11 seed in the West. He has the Wildcats (17-10) as one of the two No. 12 seeds in the Midwest Regional, facing a first-round game in Dayton, Ohio.

Palm projects six Atlantic Ten teams in the tournament, including Butler, Virginia Commonwealth, St. Louis, and Charlotte.
