COMMENTS
Oklahoma State.......Defeated Oklahoma 2 games.  Defeated # 1 seed Kansas
                                   2 games.  Won at West Virginia.  Not good enough for
                                   the tournament. Add a win over Florida State to that list.
Oklahoma.....Won 4 and lost 11 for 2018.  Lost to Oklahoma State twice.
                         Good enough for a # 10 seed in the tournament
Where They Play.....NCAA always seems to take care of Roy Williams
                                 and his North Carolina Tar Heels.  They will be playing
                                 in Charlotte.
Texas Tech.....# 3 seed  (TOO HIGH) will open in Dallas
Kansas.....Not only does Kansas have the privilege of playing the Big 12
                 Tournament in Kansas City every year, but now they get another great
                 opportunity by playing in Wichita
Michigan State.....They will be in Detroit and it will not be for making cars
West Virginia......Top 25 team all year and for that they get to go to San Diego

FAN BASE CAN PLAY A BIG PART

OUR TOP 10
1.     Villanova
2.     Virginia
3.     Duke
4.     Michigan State
5.     North Carolina
6.     Purdue
7.     West Virginia
8.     Cincinnati
9.     Kansas
10.   Michigan

WE ALWAYS WELCOME ANY COMMENTS.  GOOD LUCK
WITH YOUR BRACKETS

OKLAHOMA STATE LEFT HIGH & DRY IS A BUNCH OF BS. NO WAY THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN. I LIKE VILLANOVA'S CHANCES IN THEIR REGION. THE ZAGS COULD SURPRISE SOME PEOPLE

i always go by ratings, history, and gut feeling. when the bracket picks look easier than prebious years thats when the most upsets happen

Arizona got the 2018NCAA Championship in the bag

Thats some useful info. Cincinnati's power ranks are a bit of a surprise but they could be a good underdog pick to go far in the tournament

i agree on the whole Oklahoma state debacle . i like those ratings

mikeOspades said...

I see some equal matchups but there are alot of opportunities for upsets, Davidson and Butler to name a few. Good luck everyone

Out of the top 10 I think Duke Michigan State and North Carolina are more likely to go out in the early rounds
