I think that's the general list of Final Four Teams. Then you look at legit Championship teams and you take that list even lower--AZ, UConn, Michigan, Duke, and Houston. I think Illinois has a chance, but I want to see a bit more from them on D (guarding in man as opposed to zone), but I mean you got a pretty large Final Four list and like a 5-6 team legit NC list.

Sounds about right and I’m with you there. They are 5th in KP, 24 on D. I’d include them right now.

Last year the NC list was 4, but so was the F4 list. I think if you threw in those 4 teams back into a blender you’d get a different winner.

Teams I think are legit contenders to win it all- UConn, Illinois, Arizona, Michigan, Houston, Florida, Duke, Kansas.

I'm not as high as others are on Duke but they'll probably be a one seed and they tend to get favorable draws. If Peterson is going to continue this sitting nonsense until the season is over that takes them out of it.

Other top teams like Iowa State, Purdue, Michigan State, Texas Tech, BYU, Nebraska, Gonzaga I don't see having the firepower to win all six games. I put St. John's in that group as well despite their terrible out of conference.

I agree. I love the way Florida is playing and their front line is awesome. If their guards are gonna play well, then they are absolutely in the discussion. I wonder if they can play well for 4 straight much less 6 straight, but boy that front line is ridiculous.

I could make a play for Florida, but the backcourt feels like they'd fall apart at some point. See them as more of a F4 team. I'm with you on Kansas, they have high upside. I tend to think DP would not be sitting during March. I really like Bidunga, Council and White - suprisingly nice roster to go with Bidunga & DP. That roster has size and scoring. KU defends well too.

I don't see Purdue, MSU standing much of a chance of the second group. I could see ISU & Texas Tech making a run. BYU and TT are a lot alike in that they both have three players and then it stops.

Florida did just lose a WTF game to Auburn at home let's not forget. Auburn is not that good.

Team that I'm still trying to figure out is Iowa St. They're a little weak at the 5 with Buchanan. Jefferson, Lipsey, Momcilovic are a darned good trio. The French freshmen 2G is lock down. Probably a little closer to the Texas Tech/BYU bucket.

Stirtz at Iowa is so excellent. He's a throwback PG and just absolutely money from 3.

If you're not watching him tonight, or you haven't yet, do yourself a favor. He's one of my favorite watches.

4 3s and 26 points on 10/11 shooting, hasn't touched the rim yet on his step back 3s.

What happened to Oregon hoops? 8-14, 1-10.

Good question - worst court on the planet. Would seem they need a new coach. No reason they can't build a good program there.

Altman is pretty darn good and has had some good success there.

This year they weren't expected to be great but they also have had multiple injuries to key players.

It’s too bad he didn’t transfer to a contender. Would have been a dead hit to turn Florida or StJ into a NC favorite.

He was always going where his coach went, but man I agree I'm glad he's not on a contender. He's the best pure PG in the country and a team with high level talent would feast with him running the show.

McCollum is a great coach though. I think he'll have Iowa looking good nationally over the next couple years.

I forgot about this guy, Hurley loved him at Nova. Didn't realize he was at Iowa now, coming off the bench.
