Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 2391729, member: 7894"] I don't think I'd go that far. Unless you count Baylor and Texas as west, but I don't. UConn isn't going away any time soon. Notre Dame and Maryland should continue to be formidable. Tennessee and Duke get talent, what the coaching staff does with it is not necessarily a given. Florida St. on the rise? South Carolina of course. Will Mississippi St. build off of last year's run and continue to grow their program? I'm a West Coast homer, I'd love the balance of power to shift, but I don't really expect it to. There are just SO many more schools in the east compared to the west. I am glad to see some balance in the Pac 12 and happy that Stanford isn't the only team that is doing damage in the Tourney in recent years. I think outside the Pac 12 there isn't a whole lot going on on the left coast to get excited about. Gonzaga should be decent again but probably not gonna make noise nationally. [/QUOTE]
