Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | North Carolina | Well, they won |
2 | Gonzaga | Great team, almost enough to win it all |
3 | Oregon | Great year overall, run to the final four, Brooks was a beast. |
4 | Villanova | The best team coming into the year and they ran into a solid Wisconsin team too early and lost a close game |
5 | Kansas | I thought this team was going to win it all right up until the Oregon game and they were playing their best basketball in March |
6 | Kentucky | Great team all year, and almost knocked out the national champions if it wasn't for a buzzer beater in the E8 |
7 | South Carolina | Their defense was phenomenal all year and they got hot at the right time to get to the F4 |
8 | Florida | Great finish to the year and one 3 pt cold shooting half away from the final 4 |
9 | West Virginia | |
10 | UCLA | Their lack of defense killed them in the end just like we all thought |
11 | Arizona | How did this team lose to XU? |
12 | Louisville | |
13 | Duke | |
14 | Baylor | Solid sweet 16 run, but they were no match for the SC defense |
15 | Purdue | |
16 | Butler | |
17 | Xavier | Great tournament run. Would have loved to see Sumner on that team against the Zags |
18 | Wisconsin | |
19 | SMU | Them losing to USC was the most shocking upset of the first round for me |
20 | Notre Dame | |
21 | Florida State | Man did they look bad against XU |
22 | Cincinnati | Just couldn't defend the UCLA hot offense |
23 | Wichita State | Great year and high hopes for this year next year with everyone back |
24 | Michigan | Hot team that ran into an even hotter team in Oregon |
25 | Northwestern |
