re: Before the brackets come out... who's your dark horse to make a deep run?

Wisconsin, Virginia, and Arkansas are candidates; a lot of it is going to depend on the draws these teams get.

I hope so. Rooting for Graves.
My pick is Kansas if they end up in Arizona or Michigan's bracket. Blue bloods always find a way.

Are they playing UNC in every round? If not, no shot. They’ll get blasted in no later than the second round.

Agreed. De Ridder is a grown man.
Also if Louisville gets Mikel Brown healthy I think they can go on a run.

Iowa State or Santa Clara

BYU will probably lose in round 1 to be honest. They are ripe for a big upset by a lower tier team

Santa Clara and Saint Mary's are both dangerous. Lower tier, I like Tenn St and I think Miami of Ohio is legit. They were a cover machine all year, regardless of that 1 terrible tourney loss

Intriguing team, for sure. Struggled to start the year with a bunch of new faces learning to play alongside Blackwell and Winter. Once Boyd and Blackwell figured it out, they became arguably the best backcourt in the country. They have some incredible wins and a couple head scratching losses. Gard plays five out and Wisconsin absolutely launches threes. Winter has been out the last few games and they were able to beat Illinois and take Michigan down to the literal last second. Winter will be healthy for the Tournament.
Pick Wisconsin with caution. Guards reign supreme in March and Wisconsin has that, but things have been tough if threes aren't falling... They become susceptible because they struggle to find points elsewhere.
You'll give yourself a stroke watching Wisconsin today and thinking back to the Bo Ryan era

If we’re going like six seed or higher, UCLA
Utah State could make a run too.
Both will depend on matchups, obviously.
An athletic big will kill either’s chances.
