    Mine would be Villanova as I've stated a week ago.

    On on a side note, UNC better get it together, they have looked like utter shit the past few games

          That's a hell of a long shot, they could definitely make some noise though. Have some impressive top 25 wins this season

                          But honestly, this year I could see 8-10 diff teams with REAL shots at winning it ALL. I actually have futures on all these teams, KU & MSU a lot, and then the others a sprinkle (.2u) each with these odds locked in:

                          KU - 16/1 & 10/1
                          MSU - 25/1 & 12/1

                          Indiana - 25/1
                          Maryland - 12/1
                          Kentucky - 14/1
                          Iowa State - 20/1
                          Uconn - 30/1
                          Syracuse - 65/1
                          Florida State - 100/1

                          The first thing I look at is guardplay and IMO the top 10 PGs in the country are Melo Trimble, Fred VanVleet, Kris Dunn, Tyler Ullis, Monte Morris, Yogi Ferrell, Nic Moore, Sterling Gibbs, Demetrius Jackson, Frank Mason and honorable mention to Denzel Valentine whos not a true PG but plays as a top 3 PG in clutch situations.

                          Then add in coaching, big men, experience...

                            Impossible to say, definitely not Villanova though, theyve had better teams the last few years and can never get close. I suspect the same will happen this year, Sweet 16 maybe then bust.

                              I'll take Marcus Paige come tournament time over everyone listed, but maybe I'm biased. Aj English prob better than most on that list as well but Iona is trash.

                                Makes sense, better teams The last few years yet they're ranked #1 for the first time in school history and are more experienced.

                                I I think a lot of you are going to be surprised come tournament time, very well rounded team. No weak spot

                                  Impossible to say before the brackets come out, but regardless I hope OU wins it all.

                                  Dark horse team will be Iowa State. They're loaded and can play pressure D. They've got a big man with skills. Just not sure if they can win consistently on neutral courts.

                                    That defense is way too weak, they can shoot with the best with em but that will only get so far in the tournament imo.

                                      Best value on the board imo...

                                      You have one of the best tournament coaches in the nation, with a team improving every game, and a star PG in Isiah Taylor. They are hoping to get cameron Ridley back by big 12 tournament as well, which would be huge.

                                      They won 7/9 w/ 2 losses on the road by single digits to kansas and okie (which lots of people are picking up there w/ the favorites to win)

                                      Its wide open, and no reason this doesn't have a chance to hit, and can always hedge along the way 60-1 ish...

                                        Flipper, AJ English is not a top 10 PG. Top 25 probably. He's got the scoring and assists, but could improve defensively and lower turnovers. He's good, but at a lower level.

                                        Paige was left off my list becuase I don't like him. He often starts slow and it's like he's taking the 1H off. Totally streaky and he's in a cold slump right now. Just not the type of PG I see pulling a team to the ship. But you're right, he's top-10 talent and probably better than Moore or someone else on the list.

                                            LoL, Nova? They will get knocked out early just like they have the last 2 years, and just like the last 2 years, i will be fading them, this thread just gave me more confidence in their fade.

                                            There is no #1 team in CBB right now so trying to answer this question is stupid.

                                              these posts actually me feel stronger as wel. The fact no one else sees it and I'm the only one who believes nova can win it is confidence boosting. This whole spill about "nova always does the same thing every year" is quite funny to me, since the whole team is now more experienced than ever. About time they break through

                                                Plus this thread was to build up conversation obviously, but keep that negative mindset pal. You sound like a losing gambler

                                                  I agree, kentuckys backcourt is actually looking better this year than last year.

The fact no one else sees it and I'm the only one who believes nova can win it is confidence boosting. This whole spill about "nova always does the same thing every year" is quite funny to me, since the whole team is now more experienced than ever. About time they break through
                                                    Stick to your guns Flipper! I believe Nova does have a very good chance as well. With the current odds I see on 5Dimes I have 2 teams I would take a shot with Villanova +1085 & Mayrland +1085

                                                                It's funny that I post a thread to evoke coversation about a sport that I love, specifically in the Subforum. Yet, these no life's still find a way to come out of the woodworks simply to bash my personal pick lmao. My god, this forum is already dead, we finally get a thread with people Conversing, yet still people try and find a way to ruin it.
