One that's not listed that I think is very capable of making a run is Texas Tech. Should be somewhere in the 2-4 seed line.

Some longer shots that I like are Lousiville and Maryland. They would need some breaks, but 2 teams that are more than capable of competing with just about anyone for 40 minutes.

Gun to my head though, I'd be inclined to take either Auburn or Florida. Duke is very good, but there's only 2 maybe 3 other teams that will get in the field from the ACC, and Duke just lost to one of them last weekend.

If the team stays healthy they can make a run. McCasland is a defense first coach with a capable offense. JT Toppin, Chance McMillian, Darrion Williams, Elijah Hawkins, and Christian Anderson are a great 5.

Toppin was banging down low vs Arizona State ( 41 Pts, 15 Reb, 3 Stl, 2 Blk)

I can tell you that Gonzaga dangles the carrot every year, and they lose in the tournament. Draw a line through them

There's no clear dominant team but Bama has the depth and guard play to justify a solid confidence interval to pick them, I still don't know, depends on the tournament draw

Does Kelvin Sampson have Parkinson’s? He looked oddly shakey when they showed him walking at the end of the Arizona game.

I’m close with some people that have it and it looked eerily familiar.

Does this information eliminate Houston from winning it all? I think Gonzaga & Oregon are probably out. Maybe you can’t count out UConn just yet


go ahead and eliminate kansas too

it’ll be a miracle if they win their first tourny game

So is the loser of the SECCG going to be a 1 seed?

So is it legitimately
Winner SEC
Duke
Houston
Loser of SEC

Or can someone like St John’s take the 1 from the SEC?

Also let’s say aTm Florida make the Finals does that only get the SEC a single 1 seed and multiple 2 and 3 seeds?

As per usual, great guard play will make a huge difference in this years tourney.
