    Louisville Cardinals will win it all
    I sort of wish they lost the Big East Tournament so people might be down on them. Duck the RPI, the Big East and Big 10 are the best conferences. Louisville lost 5 games all year and they were close losses. They are battle tested. They are well coached. They are deep. They have the #1 defense in the entire country and defense travels. They can win tough road games, they can play fast, they can play slow, they can shoot, they can defend big men. That game last night was basically a home game for Cuse, and Louisville didn't quit.

    Indiana - Good offense but their defense isn't that great. Look at how Wisconsin plays them half court and owns them. I like Indiana and think they are the best team in the big 10 but Louisville is better.

    Kansas - I don't watch the big 12 as much. They are the best team out there. If they are in the West they probably go to the final 4.

    Gonzaga - The girly Canadian is pretty good... against white people. If they were in the big 10 they'd probably be the 6th best team in the conference.

    Florida - I don't watch the SEC as much but they are good and the #1 rated team in advanced metrics. The eye test says Louisville is better.

    Duke - Look at how Maryland didn't double Plumlee inside and they were able to better defend Curry and the 3 point line. Duke is good and they don't make mistakes but they have the worst defense of the "top teams" and they rely too much on 3's. They lose to teams that won't even make the tournament.

    Georgetown - They are good but their offense isn't that good. What happens if the NCAA refs calls fouls, will the big east underperform in the tourney?

    Wisconsin- Live by the 3 die by the 3. They can beat anybody but they take so many long 2's and 3's. You have to expect them to get cold at some point and lose.

    Syracuse - MCW is the skinniest guard in the entire country and Triche is the fattest guard in the entire country. You might say Triche isn't fat but that guy isn't cut at all and he plays like his girlfriend just broke up with him. Nice bald spot on the top of that nippy head of his. Those two were pathetic last night in a crazy Garden atmosphere. Southerland is awesome, Christmas is a big body inside and of course Fair. The team has talent but they just can't put it together.

    Miami - is legit but not as good as Louisville.

    Sleeper teams I am looking for
    New Mexico out west. If they played Gonzaga's schedule they might be undefeated. How come this team doesn't get more credit?

    Notre Dame. They can play big inside and they are efficient. I like that in a tournament setting. I think Notre Dame is similar to Duke but they play in a harder conference. Duke will probably get a 2 seed. Notre Dame will get a lower seed but I think they are similar.

      As this season has shown, every team on that list can be beaten and Lousville can as well. It's all about matchups. RPI wise, the Dookies played the tougest overall schedule in America.

        No team has two better players on the floor as Indiana for at least 30 minutes of each game. IU is the team to beat.

            and Wisconsin has done that 11 times in a row.

              Can't see Michigan or OSU making a run. Michigan kids can't play a slow down game and can't make free throws. OSU just struggles to score outside of Thomas. Indiana and MSU are the two probables out of the Big 10 to make a long run.

                    thousands of people think louisville will win it all. Just depends, a team like st louis matches up well. You never know.
                    Try picking a team from 6 to 12 if your trying to look like some expert

                        The West is the most wide open in my opinion. Any of these teams could make the final 4. New Mexico is a 3 but most people know nothing about them. I think they have a better shot at a final 4 than Gonzaga.

                        8 seed Pitt
                        5 seed Wisconsin
                        3 seed New Mexico
                        7 seed Notre Dame

                            They went far last year but didn't win. Unfinished business for this focused team.

                              The Big Ten WILL choke, Tom Crean is Izzo's biatch and IU always plays so soft. Zeller folds under pressure. Also, I think Michigan will blow it epically, like maybe calling for a timeout that they don't have...and they will do this Sweet 16, lol.

                              IU losing to Wisconsin was a joke, now after beating IU and Michigan, those Wisconsin boys look like giant killers.

                              OLIDEPO BLEW HIS LOAD WITH THAT 360 DUNK.

                              Izzo's boys are the only Big Ten team worth their salt year in/year out. And yes, I used to bash Izzo hard, then I had an awakening, lol.

                                            If Duke can get by Michigan State or don't have to, they will go to the Final Four. They handle the rock extremely well and are a great passing team. In other words, Duke is a press busting team. They surgically took apart VCU's HAVOC press. I also noticed Louisville gave up a lot of open looks from 3 to Syracuse in the conf tourney. If they give up that many open looks to Duke, they will get buried.

                                              Louisville could have won it last year if they didn't run in to UK in the final four. This might be their year.

                                                  For $10 I will make sure this does not happen.

                                                    An undersized shooting guard who can't shoot.
                                                    A point guard that can't shoot and is vastly overrated.
                                                    A small poor man's version of mutomobo.

                                                    This is the best team in college basketball.

                                                    How far have we fallen?

                                                      How good is Siva's ball handling?

                                                      would Craft eat him up?

                                                        I called it with Louisville before they even set the bracket.
                                                        I said the West was "wide open".
                                                        I called Gonzaga chocking.

                                                        It's nice being a sharp.
