That's definitely a big enough sample size to form an opinion in what they do.

But the tourney is nuts. And winning the whole thing is enough for me to soften on their 2nd round record as a top seed.

Purdue is a Final 4 team for me

Now I’ve said that 4 of last 5 years so take my opinion with a grain of salt

As of now my Final 4 is
Villanova
Purdue
Arizona
Texas Tech. They are all juniors so for some reason they have a mean streak also needed

Arizona, Duke, and Michigan State have the best rosters on paper by far, but Sean Miller really seems to hate his team. MSU is just not doing as well as they should, and Duke can look really bad for 10 minutes in even their best wins.

Of the teams, I think Duke is the closest to figuring it out, and I think Grayson Allen's slump has been a blessing for Gary Trent Jr and Wendell Carter, but they still have way too many close games for how good they should be.

I am not comfortable making any predictions yet this season.

For now, I would say the best teams are (in order): Villanova, UVA, Purdue, Duke...noticeable drop and then the Big 12 teams pretty much one after another (TT, WVU, and KU). Ohio State has been the biggest positive surprise team this year by a mile.

It's crazy to see these former Big East powerhouses sucking:

Syracuse
Georgetown
St. John's
UCONN

Texas Tech is the one team that’s been just mean at times. That will carry you in March

As I said Purdue is the 2000’s version of Florida and Louisville, you pick them and the crush your bracket every year.

Zona has the best player in Deandre Ayton.

The big 12 will beat itself up which might prevent a run from wvu and tech

Does West Virginia have much of a chance to win it all?

I would love to see Huggy Bear get a title before he quits.

i would argue that they have none whatsoever but that's probably harsh

Texas Tech ain't shite. We are missing two key guards and still beat them.
