Quote:The NCAA tournament is going to be crazy.  No dominant teams, mediocre to good teams all over the place.  I'm thinking many, many people will have the brackets busted within the first four days of the tournament (myself included).

 

Coaching is going to be critical.  Even in the early rounds.

 

Personally, I'm anxious to see how far Villanova, Xavier, Seton Hall, and Providence go.  I thought the Big East was going to collapse after the departure of Louisville, Syracuse, and Pitt to the ACC but it looks like they're hanging in there.  Perhaps they look better than they really are since this is the class that was still recruited when the Big East was in tact.  Maybe the drop off comes in another year or 2.  Hopefully, they can maintain their highly competitive conference.l
