THE TEam with the most upside going into the season will take it. This team will be hummin like a fine tuned machine come tourney time. I’ll give another hint the coaches first 3 of letters of his name are c a l
They own the 8s!

Was there a go to guy in 2012? Also, we might wind up with more shooters this year than last year.
If looking at the coaches poll Top 10, and the teams I think could win it . . .
1) Duke -- nope. We have seen better UK teams not overcome the youth and inexperience.
2) Michigan State -- Yup. This is my favorite to win it. This has to be one of Izzo's best rosters.
3) Kansas -- nope. I don't think they overcome the front court limitations, nor Self's tourney chokes.
4) UK - nope. But next year. . . .
5) Arizona - nope. Too many things swirling there, and Miller has done less with more.
6) Nova -Yup. Very experienced and talented. Final four team, imo.
7) Florida - Yup. Very experienced team and excellent backcourt. Injured up front w/ egbunu. Final Four team.
8) Witchita St. - Nope. I know they moved to American Conference but I remain biased against non Power Conference schools. Probably unfairly. I just don't think they face the same grind.
9) UNC - nope. Lost too much.
10) WVU -nope. They were really good last year, but had some weird losses. Cant do that in the tourney.
In the end, MSU.
Final answer.

In 2012, we had one of the top 5 players on the planet and he was a big man (which we don't have on this year's team). Also in 2012, had the top 2 picks in the draft. Miller, Lamb, and Jones were all scores. I'm trying to be a realist. This year's team has a chance but a lot of guys have to step up their game.
