Oregon should be a very solid team, but their national success will depend on the health of Dillon Brooks, who looks to be injured and hobbled and we will see how he bounces back.
Meanwhile up in Washington, Kelle Fultz said his goal is to win the PAC tournament and earn an automatic bid into the NCAA championship. While I think he can lead his team to achieve that, that also means they are unlikely to do much more than that. Expectations are so critical in March and play a major factor in team's outcomes.
