    G'Town can grind. They're going to be in a lot of games this year. Turned it over that many times and still win, hard to do.

    Louisville played the first team on their schedule and looked lost. Not even kidding, that schedule is awful. UNC ran out walk-ons for christ sake. Really hard to explain this game.

    A lot to be said who is the best team in the country right now. My vote is a homer pick, but I think they back it up.

    I think one of my biggest net losses was going with Georgetown this last year in the first game of the tourney. Got absolutely raped.

    Reverse that, bruh.

    Duke to thrash UNC at Cameron Indoor is much easier to predict than Heat to beat OKC in Miami.

    Jeez, typing that honestly just put in prospective how garbage NBA betting really is.

    I'm just glad I didn't see that UNC/Louisville game.

    UNC sucks ass.

    Also, I think MSU is absolutely the best team in college right now. But, you know...

    Louisville will make up for this loss though.

    Duke ain't trashing UNC if they play like they're playing today. Either squad.

    MSU has looked sub-par since the UK game, and has changed the perception of that UK game by a lot. Making me think UK isn't even that good.

    Very hard to duplicate last year

    Duke is probably the best team in the country

    Louisville is still really good. Dieng is a big loss but they were still good when he was hurt or in serious foul trouble. Siva was garbage could not shoot they will be better with JOnes and Kevin Ware back

    MSU and Louisville are the top 2, I would say. Duke is close.

    Kansas plays that easy ass Big 12 shit, so I hate giving them props.

    It's Arizona or Kansas 1a and 1b.

    Everybody else has looked shaky at best.

    Wiggins is not even the best player on Kansas yet.

    Right now I have my doubts Duke beats Alabama so they can get curb stomped by Arizona.

    You guys must not watch college basketball much this year. UNC is playing without 2 of their best 3 players and only lost to Belmont because they shot 22-48 from the free throw line! They still had an 8 point lead with under 2 minutes vs Belmont while missing 26 free throws and Belmont hit 5 desperation 3s in the last 2 minutes.

    Keep forgetting about OK State.

    Guards will take you far in March, and they got the best.

    Arizona's bread and butter is its backcourt, which has to be top 5 in the nation.
    On the wing you have Freshman sensation Aaron Gordon and another McDonalds Fresh in Rondae Jefferson (defensive stopper - put on teams in HS simply to shut down Wiggins).
    Arizona's front court has to be also to be top 5-7 in the nation.

    Arizona's worst rotational player is their lone senior.

    Truth be told, I am more concerned with Arizona's matchup with Drexel than the potential matchup with Duke. Arizona will murder Duke. Matchup nightmare at damn near every position. Especially since Duke can't stop awkward white kids from getting to the rack at will, what are you going to do with a roster loaded with future NBA players?

    Dan Hurley (Rhode Island Coach) on Arizona:

    "They contest everything at the rim and their length extends out to the 3-point line. I imagine that's as close to playing an NBA team as far as their personnel. That's as good a college basketball team as I've ever seen in person."

    That guy not only knows his shit, he has seen more than his fair share good teams.

    You can still get +1400 or better odds on Arizona to win it all right now.

    I think Kansas will be the squad standing tall at the end of the season, the depth they have in their team will be hard to match for any other team in the league, and they've already beaten two of the big three playing nowhere near their potential yet. They have people on the bench yet to see a single minute that very realisticly could compete for spots with the current main guys.

    Belmont is not a bad team. The only way that Belmont is a bad team is if you think that all mid majors are terrible. Belmont would run circles around Vermont if they played. Regardless, no college basketball team goes undefeated and most top programs will have a bad loss or a close game. Not a big deal.

    Kansas has a solid team, with a great coach.

    Tough to beat no matter the time of year.

    ChalkyDog: Thanks for putting me onto OSU btw, spent the day reading up on them and bet the - spread after that, and they are HAMMERING the shit out of Florida so far. Marcus Smart is a very impressive player, no idea why iv'e spent so much time watching and trying to cap NBA , college hoops is TONS more fun, kids just playing the game cuz they love it.

    NBA is crap. You never know when one of those vagina's will mail in a game.

    College ball, football and basketball, you get a much more consistent effort, meaning your capping efforts are better utilized.

    And LOL at UK right now.

    The idea that UK and MSU are top 5 teams are laughable right now. That game was so goddamn over-hyped the false narrative ESPN was spinning for that became the story.
