Arizona is a lock to get in?  Maybe because of name recognition?  The SOS is nice, but what value does it have if you don't beat any of the top-tier teams?  Are they better than Oregon?  Same record in conference, beat them in Arizona earlier this year, will play them at home next week?

Can UCLA make it 3 straight years? Yes... Has anyone ever done it??? YES UCLA under Wooden won the title like 12 out of l3 years or something ridiculous like that... If anyone can do it they can.  They play solid D.

Kansas.  Bill Self finally gets the job done.  Very talented team. Not sure about the defensive end of the floor, but who needs D when you got Brandon Rush?  Veteran ball club with depth.  I'm also a huge Louisville hater.  I don't see them making it to the sweet 16.

im alittle pissed LOUISVILLE has not kept a lower profile.  They are the real deal.  Injuries hurt them early in the season but they are FO REAL!
 
Love Louisville to make the final four.  I also like the way Kansas plays defense....just cant get over they way they have choked so many times in the tourney the last few years.
 
Ill go with Louisville, UCLA, UNC, and probably one lower seed...say a Marquette or lets say PITT (only cause they are my squad)

Wow might have to rethink my Tenn pick after this. Jayhawks are flat out nasty

My only worries about UL is that our conference is one of the weaker majors and our current form may be a little more impressive than it appears.
 

 

weak conference?????

I expect a lot of people to be on the Kansas bandwagon after tonight, but I still expect an early exit from the Jayhawks. They impressed me tonight, but I'm still not sold on them.

Liked my Dukies earlier, but if 3 pt shooting off, will have a tough time getting past 3rd round.  Plus not playing particularly well at the moment, but the team that will win it should get hot sometime this week so still time.

Plenty of teams I don't like include UCLA, Georgetown, Kansas, Tenn, maybe UNC, K St, Vandy, etc.  Any team that plays well only at home has no shot and have to score something to win so just relying on your defense will only get you so far.

Really will depend on the matchups so somebody might guess the correct team, but nobody knows until bracket comes out.  No standout teams so should be competitive.

I have never seen so many people just jump on the UCLA bandwagon and go with the sure pick and not take careful looks at other teams. UCLA will not win the tournament and neither will Tennessee I can see a fairly early exit from both these teams or at least one. Stanford will make the biggest run in the Pac 10. My pick to win it all is Kansas and has been for a long time they are the most well rounded team in the nation and have a lot of depth from their bench. North Carolina is another team with a great shot even without Ty Lawson there one of the top teams easily. All the teams that make the tournament from the Big East will be solid but none of them will win it all. Here are my teams that will shock some people Michigan State , Notre Dame , St.Mary's. Xavier and Gonzaga could make it REAL far. In the Big 10 Purdue will get smoked but Indiana , Michigan State , Wisconsin , have potential. Other teams that will get smoked are Butler , Drake , Arizona ( If they get in ) , Washingon State. But my big prediction is either UCLA or Tennessee gets shocked.

Just my long opinion... lol

UCLA 3 pt is pretty brutal and their rebounding isn't even too strong considering they have Kevin Love. Tennessee free throw shooting is fuckin terrible other than Lofton  there 3 pt isn't too strong either other than Lofton. Plus their defense isn't great I don't think.
