Bama goes 2/47 from 3 to lose a heartbreaker in the natty
In all seriousness, in football this year we kept saying “there aren’t 10 top 10 caliber teams this year,” and I feel like hoops is in a similar spot.. I don’t see 4 typical 1 seed caliber teams out there. I think the door is wide open for the 4-6 seed group to make a final 4 run. Everybody is extremely beatable and there really isn’t that team that you have to have an elite complete team to beat. Auburn was that team but is not playing near the level they were in January. Kentucky may be that team right now but so banged up it’s hard to be confident in them.
top 2 seeds my favorite to win it all is Kentucky. Villanova as always is a team to watch as well as a 2-3 seed. Baylor has the culture but repeating is obviously difficult. Zona is good but I don’t see them running the gauntlet
There are some 4 and below seed teams that have a team capable of a final 4 and I think Arkansas and Bama are high on that list.
can’t wait.. such a fun time of year
