Which #1 seed are you expecting to go the furthest?

Kentucky
Syracuse
North Carolina
Kansas

Even though Syracuse lost in the Big East tourney, I think they are still the top team in the country with their transition / fast break game.
 
Kansas and Syracuse both lost in their conf tourney and Kentucky is losing right now. PRESSURE!
 
I think either Missouri or the winner of the OSU/MSU game today will take Kansas' spot. Other than that I agree with Legend.
 
Sorry to burst your bubble Legend, but Syracuse has had way too many close games this season to count.

Ever since the Notre Dame loss, several games have been too close.

63-61 vs. WVU. Most obvious goal tending call ever, would've sent this into OT.
64-61 OT vs. Georgetown.
52-51 vs. Louisville (How does a team that loses to Providence by 31 points win the Big East tourney? Just a thought.)
71-69 vs. UConn
58-55 vs. UConn
68-71 vs. Cincy (Loss)

A team with that many close games down the stretch against teams that aren't exactly 1-3 seeds (Barring Georgetown) is definitely not set to do well in the tourney.

On the other hand, none of the other #1 seeds won their conference tournies either except MSU.

So I'm going with Michigan State, their bracket isn't exactly the strongest, and they've proven they can take down giants.

EDIT: Kansas is a #2 seed.

If anything that makes them even stronger for the tournament. They are very experienced in big game situations, which is exactly what you need for this.
 
haha i have a very ambitious bracket this year. (afterall, after winning it the first year, 2nd place last year, its about time I give you guys the opportunity to do well).

I have UNC beating UCONN in the finals.



P.S. made a women's bracket. Go PSU!

There is no way UCONN beats Kentucky. They can't afford to play catch up against a powerful offensive team. Hopefully the Cats cleaned up their foul troubles because that's pretty much the only thing that is hurting them right now.

Kentucky.
