Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | LW: 3 Such a tough road to the championship |
2 | North Carolina | LW: 6 Their inside-outside skill sold me throughout the tourney. |
3 | Kansas | LW: 1 Disappointment at the end, but this is representative of how I felt about them all season. |
4 | Oklahoma | LW: 7 Buddy Heild and the pips. |
5 | Virginia | LW: 4 Ugh how do you lose that Syracuse game |
6 | Michigan State | LW: 2 Losing to a Cinderella hurts (they were my #2 pre-tourney), but they were terrific this season. |
7 | Oregon | LW: 9 They were impressive in early tourney work, but I still don't think they were a #1 seed. |
8 | Miami (FL) | LW: 11 Larranaga pulls off a solid season |
9 | Syracuse | LW: NR Stupid sexy Boeheim |
10 | Indiana | LW: 10 Still didn't make it past the Sweet 16. That's the Selection Committee's fault. #FireCrean |
11 | Notre Dame | LW: NR Still working out how this team made the Elite 8. |
12 | Louisville | LW: 12 I'll make my own tourney! With blackjack! |
13 | Gonzaga | LW: NR A great tourney run puts the icing on a great season in Spokane. They shouldn't have lost the Syracuse game. |
14 | Wichita State | LW: NR I irrationally love this team. I still think they can beat anybody when they're healthy. |
15 | Maryland | LW: 15 Meh. Wanted more, expected less. |
16 | Xavier | LW: 5 They'll be back |
17 | West Virginia | LW: 8 Poor Huggy Bear. |
18 | Kentucky | LW: 18 Guess the committee got what they wanted. |
19 | Iowa State | LW: 23 Performed as expected. |
20 | Duke | LW: 19 Grayson Allen is coming back! Isn't everyone excited?! |
21 | Texas A&M | LW: 20 This team is not as good as Kentucky, yet gets a higher seed? |
22 | Stephen F. Austin | LW: NR Lost in the shuffle of other collapses was how SFA got hosed. They were so good this year, and were on my list from the start. |
23 | Purdue | LW: 14 Am I a shill for leaving Purdue on but axing Iowa, Utah, and Arizona? Maybe. But they did not perform late season & in conf tourneys |
24 | Seton Hall | LW: NR This team beat Nova and Xavier days pre-tourney. Just had the luck of hitting a way-underseeded Gonzaga team. Or they'd've made noise |
25 | SMU | LW: NR Great season, violations notwithstanding. 26-30 (alphabetical order): Arizona, Baylor, Iowa, Utah, Wisconsin |
