This season is different
Having NBA players on your team is the best predictor of Final Four success. An extreme example: I remember long ago a reader questioning my touting of a particular player as a future NBA star, arguing I was high on him just because his team had gone to the Final Four. In fact, it was the exact opposite, quickly obvious probably even to that reader that Marquette had gone to that Final Four in 2003 because Dwyane Wade had taken them on the ride.It absolutely could be.
This year? Well, Kentucky-Duke won’t reprise their 1992 Philly classic, but Kentucky can get here, the No. 2 seed, with Baylor the top seed, if the Bears get past the North Carolina/Marquette winner. By the way, Virginia Tech is an 11 seed after winning the ACC? Texas can’t love that first-round matchup.OK, who else has future pros?
Also, do not count out Iowa or Purdue. They have the top offensive efficiency ratings without falling off the table at the other end. They have vets and future pros. Never sell the SEC short in March. The athleticism of that league translates to NCAA success, regardless of seeding.You may have heard, this is it for Krzyzewski, and those recent losses to North Carolina to Virginia Tech mean the Blue Devils actually get to go into March Madness with a bit of an underdog mentality.
