Selfishly I’m going to just hype my SDSU Aztecs and hope they can get back to the championship game. They are a top 20ish team so it could happen but not sure I like the roster makeup enough for as deep a run.
Looking at KenPom there isn’t a single team in the country who’s top 10 in both adjusted offense and defense. So the field is wide open, but Auburn and Arizona are the 2 closest teams to being top 10 in both metrics. Not sure I’m sold on the guard play out of Auburn to get there though, need a guard led team to make a deep run traditionally.
Idk, I don’t have a horse I’m willing to attach myself to right now.
North Carolina
Marquette
Uconn
Arizona
Kentucky
Creighton
Alabama
Would all be in the mix for me that I’d be willing to bet a future on. Honestly might be a good year for Houston to punch through. Won’t be Purdue or Kansas I’m sure of that both are frauds.
