February 8, 201610 yr It's been mentioned a lot this season about how there isn't a dominant team, or a clear cut favorite. Today, IMO, we got a glimpse into just how wide-open things really are.... 7 teams, that's right 7, received 1st place votes in the coaches poll this week. Has that ever happened before, and if so, I would be shocked if had ever happened this late in the season. Those teams receiving 1st place votes were: Villanova Maryland Iowa Kansas Oklahoma North Carolina Michigan State
February 8, 201610 yr It's a weird season. Not a lot of supremely talented freshmen playing at the top-level programs and there are some really talented upper classmen at several schools really pushing them forward. Should make for a heck of a tournament.
February 8, 201610 yr Maryland Kansas Oklahoma North Carolina Michigan State I don't think it is nearly as wide open as everyone else does, in fact, I'd bet a fair amount the National Champion is one of the 5 teams listed above.
February 8, 201610 yr Oh this is gonna be fun come March. I don't think there will be 1 single bracket correctly picked.
February 8, 201610 yr I don't think it is nearly as wide open as everyone else does, in fact, I'd bet a fair amount the National Champion is one of the 5 teams listed above. Why are you short changing your Musketeers?
February 8, 201610 yr Why are you short changing your Musketeers? Too many faults, very nice team, but not win 6 (or even 4) games in March nice. Xavier, West Virginia, Iowa, Miami, Oregon -- all really good teams, but not nylon-necklace good.
February 8, 201610 yr I think there's a group of 6-8 that most likely will win (UNC, Maryland, Michigan St., Iowa, etc), depending on injury and draw and then a group of 4-6 that could put together a run and have a chance (XU, WVU, etc.)
February 8, 201610 yr What point guard is going to step up as both clutch & a leader? i. e. . . . Kemba Walker, Shabazz Napier, Tyus Jones. Possibilities: Dunn (Providence), Cousins (Oklahoma), Ulis (UK), Trimble (Maryland), Ferrell (IU), Paige (Carolina) Personally, I don't believe Kansas or Mich.St. has that PG.
February 8, 201610 yr Too many faults, very nice team, but not win 6 (or even 4) games in March nice. Xavier, West Virginia, Iowa, Miami, Oregon -- all really good teams, but not nylon-necklace good. Slow playing, Xavier is top to bottom as talented as any team you listed.
February 9, 201610 yr Not an X fan but I like them this year. I'll be going to the Villanova game so excited to see two top teams in person.
February 9, 201610 yr Last bracket has UK as a 4 seed. I know that. My comment was kind of a Joke. Noway the NCAA ever gives the Cats an 8th seed like they did in 2014. They will either award them with a higher seed as you said or they won't be in at all. That was kind of a Injustice for other teams that UK faced that year. Don't you agree?
