Some media Final Four picks

So several think we have a chance at getting there but no chance of winning. Also is Tom Hart smoking some good stuff? UK, UT, Illinois and New Mexico? 🤣
I was hoping nobody picked UK to be in the final four. We have had teams that would thrive on being picked. This team doesn’t seem too. They play their best basketball with their back against the wall with nobody thinking they can win.
UConn has too many picks. They go down, a lot of brackets are toast.
UConn doesn’t make the Final Four. They’ve played in a very mediocre league all year and until last season, Dan Hurley had never made it past the round of 32.
I expect an early exit for Connecticut

They're humming. No reason to think they cannot get back there. They have a proven resume. Auburn will be a tough SS match-up, but they have the pieces and statistics to get back to the FF.
Isn't it interesting that people associated with a Kentucky fan sight and the UK newspaper all pick against us making it? Shows what the people who have watched the team all year think about their chances. Unless they are trying to look unbiased.
We should be in the high ceiling low floor section.

I have Auburn upsetting them in my bracket, but this is a weird argument. When he took over UConn they were in the dumpster, and the first year he has a legit team he wins it all convincingly. Before that he was at Rhode Island, not exactly a basketball powerhouse. At RI he lost to a 2 seed Duke and almost beat a 3 seed Oregon that went on to a Final Four. It's not like he has some long history of flaming out early like Rick Barnes does.
I'll never understand why some metrics have Duke so high. They are literally a title contender?
Looks like the Cool Zone is an area that the "contenders" need to be worried, but not about Kansas, Gonzaga or Michigan State. Most of us agree that Illinois, Kentucky and Creighton fit right in there, but no idea what's propping up Gonzaga except their win over us, and absolutely zero clue how statistics props up Michigan State when the only reason they're even in the field is because of Izzo name.
