True its a bit early but I find a prediction isn't really a prediction unless you say it sometime before it happens. I'm giving my inside look at the four number one seeds in this years tournament.
First off, Ohio State just lost to a extremely talented Wisonsin team today. But nevertheless they will most likely win out and get themselves a number one. They are deep athletic and at times look unbeatable.
Next is my favorite team and I'm not taking them because of that. Duke is a team powered by veterans like Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith but have a lot of youth. Seth Curry and Andre Dawkins are great. And even though they did lose a huge piece in seven footer Greg Zubek the whole has been nicely filled by the very athletic frontline. With the Plumlee's and Ryan Kelly. The should make some noise in the tourney.
Texas as of today is ranked lower than Kansas but that won't be the case as the season finishes. The Longhorns play great defense and that wins you games at all levels. They are also extremely good on the other side. Jordan Hamilton is a great player. They are first in the Big 12 and assuming they finish there it should earn them the number one.
With eleven current teams as I write having 15 wins or more you can be sure the Big East will have a handful of teams in the tournament this year. Four of those teams have 20 wins. And Pitt is the best of those four. Great back court play with Wanamaker and Gibbs is something that's irreplaceable during the tournament. The least amount of mistakes always gives you a better chance of winnng. And they have that. They should make some more noise during the season. Pitt is known for closing out seasons. Anyone remember hearing about Dwaune Blair about this time two years ago? Of course those of us that watch college ball do. And even then most of us write that team off as inexperienced.
Now we'll see how it all shapes up. As usual I'm hoping my picks are right.
