Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3044426, member: 7511"] There will likely be quite a few additional losses within the top 16 teams. At this point, only Baylor and UConn have a relatively straightforward path to run the table through their respective conference tournaments. Oregon has a big game on the road tonight vs OSU and the Pac12 conference tournament is no picnic. Either Louisville or ND will have to lose at least one more time in their conference tournament, if not beforehand. MS St has demonstrated some vulnerability, and they still have a tough battle with a surging SC team on the road in Columbia. Every other top 16 team will likely face one or more tough games. At this point in the season, I start to look at teams that are trending upward, essentially playing their best basketball of the year. Baylor & Oregon appear to be very solid. SC & Miami are also playing extremely well, along with one other team that has played its best basketball of the season over the last 4 games. That last team is coached by a short Italian guy who invariably has his team firing on all cylinders when the calendar turns to March. [/QUOTE]
