I will stick with my three preseason choices:
Maryland
UL
Gonzaga
I wish I had picked Dayton early, but who could have seen that?

I hate to be the guy who says "I told you" But what did I tell you about U6. Man they regress this time of year, Mack don't like coaching in March.
We match up very well with Kansas, so I'm hopeful they're in our bracket. We can beat them on a neutral court. If we continue our upward trend like I think we will, and if we win out for all-important confidence and momentum, we will win the championship. I just don't know yet if our rebounding and defense will be enough. We MUST stop straight line drives that result in easy lay ins (we're not great at help side defense) and stop so many offensive rebounds. First shot defense is good enough for a deep regional final run, but we let teams have too many extra possessions and easy shots at the basket. Today though, I go out on a limb...Kentucky is the champion!
Really depends on where they put teams. But off the top of my head.
Kentucky
Florida St
Nova
Creighton
Creighton is my darkhorse.
Those look like odd choices, but its gonna be a wacky tournament. No great one seeds by any means.

At this point it is Kansas and then everybody playing for second place.
The number one team rarely wins it all. Kansas is good they are rolling right now. But I could see a close game Kansas is in and that teams deploys the "hack a Doke" and he misses huge free throws and kansas loses.

Nobody is GREAT this year. Saying kansas is head and shoulders at the top is just not true.

I'm not entirely sure that Kansas ISN'T currently head and shoulders ahead.
Right now on a neutral court they'd be favored by about 2-3 points over the next team (Baylor). Or 3-4 points over Gonzaga. Or 4-5 points over Duke
I think that's pretty significant.

I will say this, no team will win the championship. Now by saying this I will be right 352 times out of 353 , what you think about that.
