Bold. And I would say crazy.

Kentucky has how many 5 stars on their team? I believe last year they had 9 sophomore or younger. And they're reloading again. The team just didn't gel last year, but I think you're crazy if you project them to lose to Tennessee. Tennessee lost to an 11 seed in the 2nd round last year. They only beat our depleted team in December by 7. I mean it happens and happened, but that shouldn't be a default assumption.

And Gonzaga? Barely beat 13 seed UNCG by 4. I don't think you pick a team from a weak conference with a weak schedule to end up a #1 seed. They were #21 in RPI because their strength of schedule was 100+.

I think you'd be better off staying to regular safe picks like Kansas, Duke/North Carolina, Michigan/Michigan State, Villanova (who had no seniors in their top 10 scorers).

I agree with you bwelbo;) Tennessee will have a great team but i think they will be more likely to be a possible #2 ,#3 or #4 Seed(y)

3 SEC teams in the top 10 LOL.

PAC 12 hardly to be found. That conference sure sucks at a lot of sports.

Auburn extended Bruce Pearl's contract to 2023:oops::eek::wideyed: I guess the NCAA is ignoring Bruce Pearl this time around:rolleyes:

Auburn is a joke. Bruce Pearl refused to cooperate with the achool’s own investigation. His former assistant was convicted of 6 felonies. He was implicated himself in the FBI NCAA scandal. Ohhhhh, so let’s extend his contract if he won’t work with us and answer our questions. LOLOLOLOLOLOL. If you can win a game, the SEC will ignore any and all unethical and criminal behavior.

I'm surprised the NCAA hasn't put a Show Cause Penalty on Bruce Pearl:rolleyes: He's done far worse than Donnie Tyndall did at Southern Miss and Tennessee and Donnie got a 10 year NCAA Show Cause Penalty:rolleyes:
