Hoping Oregon state makes it in tourney as 7th pac 12 team. They played a top 25 schedule enroute to 19-12 record. Beat Oregon, Utah, cal and usc who are all tourney bound. Only out of conference losses were to Kansas and valpo who are not bad losses. Plus want to see Payton play in tourney, he just put up 20 and 17 in a tough loss to cal who I feel is best team in lac 12.

 Last year Duke won it all with a trio of freshmen (Grayson Allen being the 4th).

This year it looks like it will be controlled by Seniors, which is rare in the one and done era of college basketball. I love seeing that because it makes the games more exciting, knowing that there is no "next year/second chance" for many of the best players on the floor!

Buddy Heild- Leading a Final 4 contender in OU

Perry Ellis- Leading a Final 4 contender in KU

Denzel Valentine- Leading a Final 4 contender in MSU

Brice Johnson and Marcus Paige- Both need to lead if UNC has any chance at the Final 4

Malcolm Brogdon- Leading a Virginia team that plays very Virginia-like, if that makes sense

Yogi Ferrell- Set records at IU, his best chance to advance in the tourney since Zeller and co were bounced

VanVleet and Baker- Get one last go at it for Wichita State

and of course…

Marshall Plumlee- without him… well Duke would have 5 less fouls and Coach K would be forced to actually play Chase Jeter

 Ochefu and Archie- for Villanova. Although, I think a lot of the tourney success will be dependent on Jalen Brunson and how often Brunson can get the ball to Josh Hart in positive places.

 Agreed with the poster above. It’s not great for getting pumped about the NBA Draft but I love that the best teams this year are senior driven. 

It makes the product so much better and more enjoyable to watch. 

There are about a dozen teams that could win the title that I wouldnt be surprised by. Of that dozen, almost all of them could lose in the first weekend and I also wouldn’t be that surprised. It’s great
