A week from the NCAA bracket reveal. Who do you like to go far? Who do you see as likely upsets?

[Cats192]

Curious to see different thoughts.

Teams I like the most: Houston, Florida, Duke (vomit). Auburn is the best team, but they do a lot of stupid stuff.

Teams I think prime to bow out early:
Tennessee (we've beaten them twice by making them beat us from 3. Would think other teams have to use that against them. Though their defense will keep them in games.
Purdue: flaming out to close the regular season.
Michigan
Kansas

 

[CalipariCapo]

I like Auburn and Florida to make it to at least an E8. I see Duke going out in the sweet 16. TN will also be gone before the sweet 16 as well.

 

[Noahtogo24]

Florida my pick to win NC right now.

Maryland goes far

Kansas out first weekend

 

[UKWildcats1987]

It's hard to say when we do not have the bracket yet as matchups and luck are two big factors.

Blindly guessing I think Florida and auburn will go far. Duke doesn't make the final four.

I think UK will make at least sweet 16 and with our injury issues that's saying something.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Florida, Duke, Michigan state and Houston are ones I like to make runs
- Michigan, Tennessee, Kansas and louisivlle(TBT on them) area one i think exit early

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Michigan State has looked really good most of the season (besides losing to an awful Indiana team)

Defense, multiple guards that can score. Big guys that play their roles perfectly.

I’ll take them to make the Final 4 and maybe even the whole thing.

7 wins in a row. 6 against ranked teams. I think they are playing as well as anyone right now. Good pick

 

[gharding07]

Florida is my champion.
BYU, St Mary's, Clemson, Maryland will be dark horse final 4 teams. VCU, Drake will have a great shot to reach 2nd weekend as a double digit seeds.

Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, Arizona done early.
HOT TAKE: Auburn will be the first 1 seed to lose.

 

[BBNinSC]

Every mock bracket I’ve seen looks like we would win our first 2 games.
I’m predicting Tennessee to make a FF run and Rick Barnes last season.

 

[The_Answer1313]

I'm predicting around 4pm EST on Thursday my bracket will already be busted lol.

That’s what scares me. All year we have played down to competition in those “obvious win” type games. I think if we can get to S16 and avoid an upset we could be a nightmare scenario for others

Our first round game will be very nerve wracking.

 

[gbl97]

BYU, St Mary's, Clemson, Maryland will be dark horse final 4 teams.

That would really suck if BYU has a better tournament than us after we took their coach.

 

[rivercatinfl]

For higher seeds, Akron, VCU and creighton good teams. I hope we don't face any of them.
Mich St, Houston, Florida, Auburn depending for the bracket seedlings are the final four teams.

 

[Wildcats1st]

Duke or Alabama are front runners in my mind for the title.

 

[gharding07]

They are on fire right now.

Pepperdine plays St Marys tomorrow in semi final,, they're 13-21 and upset Santa Clara today..

 

[jeffky]

They are on fire right now.

You're picking byu over us

 

[Lempface]

I don't understand this sentiment. This was always going to be a rebuilding year, we literally didn't retain 1 minute of play from the prior roster. Meanwhile BYU had a bunch of guys stay even when their coach left. Them performing so well with many of Pope's guys I think says something.

 

[CapnBlubs]

I agree with others that Florida looks like one of the toughest teams.

But...

Can we just ask ONE more time why Golden didn't get in any trouble or get fired?

Essentially the explanation was "it wasn't part of school activity" so the Title IX investigation was dismissed.

He's a ****ing perv and no one should ever let him off the hook for it. Florida is just making their own rules up because they want to win, as has been done so many times there and elsewhere.

Not someone I'd want as a face of my institution.

issue went away because they had a much better season than predicted. if he was somewhere middle of the pack of the sec, it wouldn't have been dismissed

 

[Cowtown Cat]

I think the two “best” teams won’t make the FF: Auburn and duke. I like Florida and Houston to make the FF, depending on matchups. I also really like Missouri as my dark horse, depending on matchups. Also like Iowa State and Michigan State. Wouldn’t surprise me to see this UK team to sneak into EE, maybe further.

I would love to see an all SEC Final Four.

 

[rick64]

Duke will be the first 1 seed eliminated. But then again, it's hard to beat 5 vs 8.

 

[JwUKFan11]

Love Florida but so many others also seem to like them that kinda scares me. I think Marquette and Vandy are teams that could go on a run and A&M is my team I think gets upset very early.

Florida could definitely make a FF run. They have a very deep team. Excellent guard play. Big guy for Florida is legit.
