You must have great guards to win a national championship... this is why Syracuse will beat Oklahoma... Johnny Flynn is amazing and OU's guards are pretty mediocre comparatively

Johnny Flynn is kind of an idiot as well. He's a good player but can make some awfully poor decisions at times.

North carolina is weakest of the four number one seeds. Their point guard is in traction.

Everyone I have heard says their point guard should be ready to play by next week. As for this week, they play at worst a 16 and an 8, in their own back yard. I think NC is stronger than UConn, who I dont think will have their PG back at all.

The fact that all 4 #1 seeds don't usually make it is valid but picking the right team to replace them in the Final 4 isn't as easy as saying all 4 #1s won't make it. This year is tough. All 4 won't make it and I'd bet a lot of money on it. Just don't ask me which ones though.

I think TX loses to MN in the first round.

and honestly... I am routing for MN.

TX does seem to underperform in the tournament under Barnes. At the same time, they are certainly capable of scoring 65-70 points which spells trouble for MN. Most of the Gppher's wins this year have been at the expense of teams hurting for offense.
