Who’s your pick to win the NCAAT in basketball?

Alabama because they have a multitude of very good shooters, inside and out, with a solid defense.

With the injuries we (Kentucky) have I don't see any way we string together enough games to make that kind of run.

AS for the rest, it's all going to depend on matchups IMO. There's enough parity in the field that I wouldn't be surprised to not see chalk. Auburn has similar numbers to Kentucky 2014, so I think they have the depth and talent to do it. But all it takes is one night for a team to play out of it's mind to take a team like that down.

As in years past, UH lacks the dominant scoring threat/talent to push them through the tourney to the natty. I think they addressed that need in this year's recruiting class (#2 class), though.

I think this year more so than any other year it is wide open. Duke and Auburn would be the clear favorites, but Bama has guard play. The Vols are dangerous. There are 5 or 6 teams in the SEC that could make a serious run. If I'm putting something down on draftkings I'm going with Auburn

St. John’s

Florida strikes me as the the most complete team I've watched this year. They can play however you'd like to play and not be overwhelmed and they aren't loose with the basketball.

I think Bama's "peak" is the best in the country because they can just score in loads and bury you in a hurry. They also rotate 10 guys and have some "specialist" players like Dioubate and Reid. They rebound as well as anyone in the country- but they're also extremely careless with the basketball. If they turn the ball over, don't shoot the ball well, and don't get offensive rebounds, then you get the Ole Miss game.

Auburn with their two inside guys will be a problem in the tournament, but what happens if Broome goes down or gets in foul trouble? Bama has scored 100 points in a game that Sears had 0. Does Auburn have the PG play to win it all? Maybe it doesn't matter. They've already beaten several teams that play prison ball in Iowa State, Houston, and Tennessee- though all 3 games were very close.

If I had to pick right now just based on which team I think can string together 6 consistent games it would be Florida. They aren't overly reliant on any one player or play style

St. John's

Michigan State & St. John’s are 2 teams that could make a run bc of who their coach is, but I wouldn’t put my $ on either of them to win it all

This years tourney is setting up to be awesome…

Florida looks like the UCONN from the last two years.

Not sure I’d go that far. They do have a 30 point loss to Tennessee. Condon is a great player but he’s not the defensive presence that Clingan was.
