The SEC has been known to lack a bit in the basketball department with all
going to football but this year could be diferent. With football not being as dom
as it has been in the past, basketball is starting of hot with multiple top 25
Kentucky (9), Texas A&M (21), and South Carolina (22). Watching a bit of A&
seem like a real solid team that might rely on the deep just a little too much, es
for what their shooting it at (38%). But the Gamecocks are an undefeate
currently, although their strength of schedule isn't the best to start the sea

love to hate and hate to love. The slow paced ofense and big body defense
watching a football game on the hardwood. Though they have their big d
Michigan State (5), Indiana (receiving votes) and Maryland (3), the Big T
doesn't seem as lethal without Wisconsin running the table or Ohio State
teams to a pulp. My favorite team in the conference though is my boys
Lafayette, Indiana. The Purdue Boilermakers (20) are a BEAST to take down
deep bench and scorers at nearly every position it creates a mismatch nightm
opposing coaches. Look for my Boilermakers late in March.
Probably the best conference in most eyes, the ACC brings out the best i
opponent with Duke (14), North Carolina (6), Virginia (4), and a scrappy Miam
sneaking in at the 12 spot in the country. In all honesty I haven't watched mu

ACC: I really like Virginia, pretty strong defense and a veteran team.
SEC: Kentucky, obvious for most. BUT do not sleep on A&M, those kids are fo
Big East: Tough go against my squad but look at Villanova and Butler, the con
games with these two will be fantastic.
Big Ten: BOILER UP!! Also MSU, tough to bet against Izzo. Look for a
matchup between Sparty and Purdue, thats must watch TV.
Big 12: Oklahoma is my current favorite too fast and aggressive, Buddy
unreal.
Pac 12: Gotta go with Arizona clear favorite, but don't sleep on Cal, lost
Virginia and just stomped on Utah a previous (21).
