Too many teams. I think the College Basketball experts got it right this time- it's going to be a very difficult choice out of 12 very qualified teams.
I still think UNC is on the top of the class, Duke, if the 3s drop, is very close if not over UNC, Wake's showing some staying power even after today's loss, UConn is a great complete team, Pitt is looking very strong. The list goes on and on but I will say that I don't have much faith in Oklahoma going anywhere near the championship game because I just don't think Blake can carry a team.
i think this thing is wide open and there is no dominant team and everyone is beatable..
i thought unc would cruise, but they now lack a bench, don't play good enough D, and settle too much for jump shots on offense instead of getting the ball in to Hansbrough...they could still win it all based on talent, but they are going to have play much better than they have shown to this point of the season..
duke relies on the three too much and doesnt have enough size to win it all..
UConn is very good, but Thabeet is overrated and they will miss that injured guard..
we see that OK is not very good without Griffin...hope the kid is ready to roll for the tournament....
Pitt is tough and determined...they remind of what Georgetown used to be like.. but just making the final four may be a more realistic goal as they have yet to do that...
