    Impossible without knowing the bracket but I like Arizona, Ohio State, Duke, and Villanova right now. I think somebody knocks off Kentucky, possibly in the Elite 8.

    Teams that can win it all
    Duke,Arizona, Kentucky

    Teams that could make a run
    Wisconsin, Utah, gonzaga Wichita state, Maryland

    Of course gonzaga, and Wichita state won't win it all because unfortunately the true small schools will never get that reward but they could still get to the final four

    LSU looks mighty dangerous, depends upon bracket structure and if they get some help along the way like UCONN did last year! just say

    Duke & Kentucky are the only two teams that matter. Hopefully they are on the opposite side of the bracket because that would be a phenomenal title game.

    Provided Duke stays focused it should be Kentucky vs Duke in the finals. I do not think Duke will be able to hang with them for 60 minutes.

    My final 4
    Duke
    Kentucky
    Zona
    Nova

    But its a crap shoot all based on how the bracket is setup. Look at UConn got to play home games all the way to the final 4!

    What are you guys talking about??? Uconn had the TOUGHEST road. They beat the ACC champ Virginia, the hottest team and popular champ pick MSU, and the most solid/complete team Florida, then the 'almighty' Kentucky. The last two games were in Dallas across the country.

    LT, I would agree with that. Those 3 teams are by far the most talented. The fourth is very difficult. I feel like it will be a team no body expects to be there.

    Virginia can't score. Gonzaga plays a cupcake schedule. Arizona...ehh?

    Arizona might be undefeated right now if Miller ever let's them pick up the pace a little. I have always thought he was a good coach in the past, but he may be holding them back this year with his style, which has kept some lesser teams close in games where they should not have been, which bit them in all three losses.

    Must mean Kansas? KU and Duke are clumsy in the tourny. But you're right - I don't get all the Duke love but none for KU

    People are just naming their thoughts on the top 4 best teams right now. Anyone that knows anything knows the 4best teams right now won't necessarily be the last 4 teams standing

    Kansas looks like a flop to me, could lose to some 7-seed in second round depending on matchup. Duke is legit, win AT Virginia points that out.

    Most definitely could lose early this year with this field. But losing in the second round I wouldn't say would be a flop. If they pull a Duke and lose to a Mercer 1st round then that would be considered a flop. If they get a 7 seed 2nd round maybe a Ohio st, Providence, West Virgina or Mich st Kansas would be a small favorite against all of them maybe 5-7pts. But wouldn't be a huge upset if any of those teams beat them. I was just pointing out that not 1 person gave them a chance with #1 RPI #1 SOS in the #1 conference that they are about to win for the 11th straight year

    Good question.

    Right now?

    I'd go Kentucky, Wisconsin, Duke, and Villanova (providing they are not in the East with Duke).

    Sure they beat those teams but playing in Buffalo and NYC (Where the big east tourny is held) they got to play de facto-home games.
    So because MSU was a popular pick that means they had a tough time!?

    Its about getting luckying in your placement, Wiscy had to go west last year... and getting lucky.

    I was watching Gonzaga closely last night, I don't see it.
    Notre Dame is a legit final 4 team.

    Sharp selection SMU
    That team is built to wreak some NCAA tourney damage.
    I like that choice.

    Very early but....

    Kentucky
    Duke
    Ohio St
    Oklahoma

    I didn't want to go all chalk so I put a couple teams I think have a shot to make a run in Ohio St and Oklahoma. Of the elite teams, I like UK and Duke most. Zags are really talented, but I think playing scrubs for 3 months straight won't have them ready for the tournament.
