And I for one can't wait....The way this season is going, there really isn't going to be a favorite. I hope UK gets their chance for a rematch with Kansas,UCLA, or Ohio St.... The SEC Tournament is going to be great as well.....GO CATS!
 
Yep. I expect this tournament to be the craziest to date. No one will be safe.
 
Won't be getting any rematches with UCLA or Ohio State this year as they are likely not making it.

Here is 1 of the oddest stats I just seen.

Max Hooper for Oakland is has taken 206 FG attempts this year...all 206 have been 3 pointers.

He is 94/206 on the year for 45.6%

I expected him to have only a couple FT attempts but he is 18/19 on the year so I wonder if any of those were a 2 point shot that a foul happened and he missed so it did not count as a FG attempt.

What happens if he steals the ball and has broke away with no one in front does he pull for 3 or take the wide open layup ?

Normally there are 4-5 teams that you know one of them will win. At this time this year I can't even tell you who the number one over all is.
 
To me its Kansas and UNC's turn to win the damn thing. Ky and duke last year. Pencil ku\unc in the final four. They will play close to home so that mitigates the upset for those two. Any team in their bracket is doomed.
That leaves 2 spots.
Michigan State, UK, Maryland, oklahoma need good tourney placement to make it but they are the most likely to me. Duke and Purdue are my wild cards.

Sorry but I'm just not impressed with NC this year. They're just as vulnerable as any other team and to pencil them in as a Final Four lock is ridiculous at this point. Same goes for Kansas as Bill Self is the master choke artist.

Yep, like last year I had my entire final four correct. Everyone knew who the top dogs. This year, nobody has a dang clue.

Nothing is certain. UK was the best team in the field last year, and almost lost in the Elite Eight. UNC is probably the best team, but they're no shoe-in for the Final Four. They don't play defense and their guards are inconsistent. Kansas is as bi-polar as they've ever been.
 
one rule Id like to see is that UNC, KU, duke, and UK have to be in separate brackets every year. The chance of all 4 meeting in the final four should always be available to the sport.
