Crazy year of college basketball. Does anyone have any clue as to who will win the tournament this year? Could be one of those years where any of the top 16 teams in the dance could win it.

shakes you watch prob more college basketball than anyone? Who do you think can win it?

Been a really crappy year for college basketball. Parity is fun, but lack of quality play isn't. Lots of low scoring slugfests. Been some great OT games as well, but overall been a very sloppy year on the court. Pretty much anyone in the top 40 can beat anyone else, been like that all year.

But, I think some favorites are starting to emerge somewhat. Kansas is probably the safest pick, but they're only safe if Azubuke doesn't get hurt which he seems to do every game. The other teams that can win it are maybe Gonzaga, I guess Dayton maybe and then maybe Kentucky. That's pretty much it.

The rest are too crappy to have any confidence that they can string together 6 good games. And even the teams I mentioned, aside from Kansas, have looked pretty bad at times this year.

I like San Diego St and Duke quite a bit. Michigan State and Kentucky to make deep runs... Actually, this could easily be my final four depending on regions.

I dont know what to think about SDS.... Duke i dont trust....i feel like they are slipping at a bad time. Kentucky is a team that I think can go a long ways. I like Gonzaga and Baylor too.

Gonzaga has been waiting a long time. The stars might align this year.

It's a strange year because of the change of the 3 point line that basically ruined the first half of the season. Teams seem to have adjusted somewhat but it's hard to tell who is good or who isn't.

They moved it back for this year and shooting percentages plummeted. It also seemed to have an impact on floor spacing and offensive flow. I know I've seen more people step out of bounds on the sidelines than I ever have before. Around the end of the new year scoring was down in every category by a significant margin. Offensive efficiency was at a 17 year low. I don't know how much it has improved since then but I don't think it has caught back up. It should be back to normal next year. I think other changes like this have just been a one year issue.

When the Big East seems like the best basketball, there's a problem
