without knowing the brackets yet of course, but we are slowly nearing the home stretch of the season. As weird as it sounds, I think UK can be deemed a sleeper going in as a 3 or 4 seed. So young but so talented in the interior with Randle and Cauley-Stein.

Cuse
UF
Kansas
UVA - my off the radar pick

I'm a Kansas fan and I don't think KU or UF make it.

Villanova
Arizona
Michigan St

I think SU will lose on a fluke and Florida will get a bad draw

Florida
Michigan State
Louisville
Syracuse

I think Syracuse's zone makes them a really tough out before the Elite 8. However, their struggle to score points will do them in eventually. Arizona's defense will do the same, but their lack of depth and scoring will keep them out too.

Wichita could make a run to the Elite 8, but I don't see them as a Final Four team.

I like Florida and Michigan State a lot. I think Louisville still has a good bit of experience left from last year, and they play a style that wins in the tournament.

I like scoring teams out of the Big Ten like Iowa and Michigan. I think the Big East is really overrated, but you could see Creighton make a Sweet 16. San Diego State could really make the Final Four, but they could also lose 2nd round.

Two of my sleepers are Cincinnati and Texas. I think the Big XII overall underperforms in the tournament though. As well as the Pac 12.

ETA: Florida will be the #1 overall seed in the tournament, and will win the national title.

It will be Wichita or SU if unbeaten. The Gators will get a 1, if they win the SEC tourney. If they lose in Atlanta they become a 2.

Wichita won't be the #1 overall seed even if they're the only unbeaten.

They're getting a 1 even if they don't win the SEC tournament.

And this is why discussing details of the tournament is fricking stupid before the bracket comes out.

If you put a gun to my head and forced me to pick I would go

Syracuse
UF
Wichita
Michigan State

But man I really don't know. This whole year has been insane. Really has me excited for the tourney though. I think it's going to be great. I'm prediction a George mason type run out of someone.

NCAA Tournament is all about matchups, especially with a field where no one has really set themselves apart as a super dominant team.

Syracuse won't make it to the Elite 8. Write that down.

Wichita is good, but not that good. Very flawed. I'm a fan of Illinois State and follow the MVC closely. The conference is very down right now. Wichita State coasts in the first half way too much. It will bite them.

They haven't played anyone either. Won against St Louis early in the year and that's it.
