Mine is Louisville. I think they are the most complete team in the country.
Versatility.
Length.
Solid play down low.
Senior leadership.
Balance (6 players over 8 ppg)
Smothering D especially on the perimeter.
A press that will wear teams out.
Great coaching.
And, most importantly, depth which is so big in the tourney given foul trouble and other anomalies. This is especially important when you are wearing teams down with your press.
They are as good as anybody underneath with Padgett, Caracter, Clark and Palacios. And, I think their guards are gritty enough to get them 6 victories in a row. Sosa is the wild card that needs to come to play and make smart dec`isions. Williams is a wonderful passer with freakish athleticism. Smith and Mcgee can stroke the 3, and are relentless during their press and in front of that 2-3.

Disagree with Tenn. Ft shooting will hurt. And, games become much more half court oriented in March. That does not bode well for a team that lives off of chaos. They do get after you though. Quietly have become the best under team in the country

worm, Ive dabbled. After I stopped, I continued to tread water with my leans and the few games that I did bet. Lately, I have really picked it up. Today, it was Mich State and Zona. Nothing at all tomorrow

State is a very dangerous tourny team. No respect, but very deep and experienced. Love them as a dark horse. The more they lose, the more I love them right now

Texas. Love their versatility at guard. They could do some damage as a 2 seed. Just can't see Rick Barnes cutting down the nets cause he resembles Bob Stoops.

anybody have any other viable darkhorse long shots?
Arizona maybe?
Arizona? They wont even make the tournament. They're 17-12. Walters had a wipe open 15-footer for the tie today but handed it off to Bayless who was triple teamed and missed a 3. That pass cost Arizona the tourney.
UCLA will be the national champ. Collison is arguably the best PG in the country on both sides of the ball. As much as I hate Kevin Love, the kid can play. Their supporting cast is great, and they play in the best conference in the nation.

I agree that North Carolina has a legitimate shot with Hansbrough , Ellington , and Lawson hasn't even been playing and there still killing teams. Also UCLA they have been deep in previous years with a lot of returning players and lost to a real tough Gator team last year. Also Kansas has a good chance they made it far last year and lost to UCLA in the elite 8. I also think Tennessee got a good shot they should of forsure beat Ohio St last year. A sleeper that I doubt will win but I bet will go far is Stanford they got the Lopez twins both 7 feet tall and Taj Finger 6'10 not saying size wins you titles thats forsure but rebounding is so important Florida Gators last year had a pretty big team as well.

Zona has the #1 SOS in the country. They need a strong showing in the conf tourny and they are in. Who else you going to put in, Syracuse? WVU? Give me Bayless any day
