I think Will Cain asked him about Clemson because the Tigers are one of the popular upset picks. That is largely because the Tigers are a 5 seed, and everyone knows that is historically the most frequent upset. Even so, only about 27% of the ESPN brackets have the Tigers losing, so that's still pretty good odds. They are a 5-point favorite according to Vegas.

Also, Bilas said that night games favor the favorite, but I'm not sure that's the case in this situation because it's only a 9 hour drive to San Diego from New Mexico State, and there are probably Aggie fans/alums even closer than that. This could be a big crowd advantage for the Aggies. Thanks, Selection Committee!
