February 2, 201511 yr Kentucky Duke Kansas Utah Love the idea of going out on a limb, but I don't think Utah makes it past the sweet 16. They have slaughtered some decent competition but their only good win is against Wichita, who I'm not convinced is all that great. They played Kansas tight early on, but Jay Hawks are a different team right now than they were then.

Best way to make a run in March is with guard play. You won't find many, if any, better than Delon Wright. I see Utah and Ohio State as the best "sleeper" picks to make a Final Four run because of him and Russell. Those guys can carry a team.

February 2, 201511 yr VCU was my sleeper until Weber tore his knee up this weekend. Of course it's no like they aren't already on the radar.:lol2:
February 2, 201511 yr I'm not completely sold on Arizona, though I admittedly have only caught portions of a couple of games.
February 2, 201511 yr I'm not completely sold on Arizona, though I admittedly have only caught portions of a couple of games. Their 18 point win over Utah two weeks ago is among the most impressive wins of the year. They are starting to figure it out and their roster is loaded with talent.
February 2, 201511 yr Their 18 point win over Utah two weeks ago is among the most impressive wins of the year. They are starting to figure it out and their roster is loaded with talent. It was in Arizona, wasn't it? Impressive, I agree, but not unexpected IMO. I bet they fall when they have to go to Utah at the end of the month. Arizona just seems to be missing something IMO. Not sure what it is, but I just don't see it with them.

Certainly helps being at the McKale Center, but beating a Top 11 RPI team by 18 is solid to me whereever you tip it off. They may well lose in Salt Lake, but I will be surprised. I am admittedly a little biased when it comes to the Wildcats West, but I think they are going to be a handful come March.

Additionally, the PAC 12 is awful. Thought I'd add that. If they get more than 3 teams in the Dance (Arizona, Utah, and Stanford) it is only because Cinderella wins the Conference Tourney.

February 2, 201511 yr Going off today's CBS bracket On a side note...saw Texas was all the way down to a 10 seed in today's CBS bracket. Crazy, considering what they returned this year. I would hate to be the #1 seed in the side of the bracket that has Texas as a #10.
