TitanSlim Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Trevor Keels shooting over 45% from three since February at just under 5 attempts per game. AJ Griffin during the same stretch is shooting 47% from three at just under 6 attempts per game. Paolo has looked like early season Paolo the past couple games. Wendell Moore, Mark Williams and Jeremy Roach continue to be consistent steady presences on both ends of the court. The competition hasn’t been great but they’re playing exactly how you want heading into tournament season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whew I could have sworn they were worse than Iowa St. Big 10 is rough this year. There are some good players but not good teams. I don't see anyone going far in the tournament unless one of the stars gets hot and carries their team. MSU probably doesnt deserve to be in with how they have played recently but their overall resume is worth getting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ACC is perceived as weak, and Duke is not running through it the way you'd have expected them to (given all that talent, preseason hype, etc.). Their best win in the calendar year was mid a January beatdown at Wake Forest, but WF is only looking like a 10 seed. Meanwhile their 3 losses don't look good when 2 were at home, and 2 were against non-tournament teams with the other coming against a bubble team. Of course the bolded is key, because pretty much everything I said after that goes out the window if you don't think the ACC is as weak as their projected tournament representation or the advanced metrics would suggest. If somebody doesn't think the ACC is the cakewalk it's been painted to be, Duke should absolutely be a favorite if not the #1 favorite for them. Personally I think it is a very wide open field. I think Zags, Arizona and Duke have very easy paths to locking up a 1 seed and with the 1 seed comes the easiest path to a championship, so those would be my 3 favorites I suppose but really I view all these teams as pretty equal parts NC contenders: Gonzaga Arizona Duke Kentucky Kansas Baylor Purdue Villanova Auburn and yet it also wouldn't surprise me to see a single one of these teams fail to reach the sweet 16. Just that kind of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) Not a prediction, but these would be my AA teams 1st team Oscar Johnny Davis Cockburn Agbaji Banchero 2nd team Mathurin Lidell Keegan Jabari Akinjo 3rd team Gillespie Alondes Timme Holmgren Ivey HMs- Juzang, Tubelis, TJD, Eason, Kessler, Wendell Moore, RJ Cole, Bynum That's how I'd also predict the 1st team shaping up. Agbijo only one I could see demoted to 2nd. I'm a big Lidell fan but I doubt he'll get 2nd team, maybe 3rd. Holmgren or Timme will probably end up on 2nd team if Zags wins WCC and enter tournament as the #1 overall seed. Definitely don't think we will see any mid majors on this years' teams.

agarcia34 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Always want to believe in UCONN then they have these performances like this which makes you double think everything. Creighton is very mid and they’re blasting UCONN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Kalkbrenner just destroyed UCONN in that 2h. Creighton full of guys who are below average shooters and UCONN refused to double to make someone else beat them. Such a disappointment UConn is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jevon Carter in 2017 and Aaron Craft in 2014 look like the only 2 in the past decade to win DPOY and fail to make an AA team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
