Anyone think Arizona could win it all

I think it's a good value play if u were making a future wager. I think the only two teams that can beat Kentucky today are Wisconsin and Zona. Would be fine seeing a rematch of the 1997 title game...
 
It's KY's to lose. They're going to have to have an off game for anyone to have a chance.

I don't buy into Arizona. They have good talent but it's not the '97 team. Those guards were better.

No - supremely talented, Stanley Johnson will do something so FS that it will make Chris Weber's timeout look tame in comparison.

 
I don't like Arizona's guards ... by the time they get to the 2nd weekend they most likely will have the weakest backcourt from that point forward. They are a good candidate to me to lose on the first weekend. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if every PAC team was gone by the end of the first weekend.
 
The last time they won the NC they finished 5th in the Pac-10, so yes.

What in the almighty fuck does that have to do with this years team beating Kentucky.?

It means I've never picked the NC winner in my pool. LOL (I have finished in the money, 2nd twice and third twice.)

Arizona won't win a title, but they will get past the first weekend.
 
I don't like UofA for a couple reasons. Miller has never been the best in game coach which never bodes well for deep runs. NCAA is usually won by guard play, and UofA doesn't have elite guard play. They are good, but not elite.

I don't see zona as being a physical team(similar to GU), which will struggle with teams who get nasty as the tourney progresses.

 
The latest version of Bracketology has Arizona potentially playing Michigan State. There's a lot of jekyl and hyde to Sparty this year, but there's definitely a far greater than 0% chance that they could knock off an Arizona team that is so non-elite that they've lost games to Oregon St, Arizona St, and UNLV this year - 3 teams that are far from good.
 
BTW, Gonzaga slated to play Belmont in the 1st round ... I'd laugh when Belmont shoots their way into a win.

Other than Kentucky, there isn't an elite team. If we are going by losses, Duke got beat rather easily by NC State and Miami. Wisconsin lost to Rutgers. I'm sure there have been many past champions and teams that did well in the tournament that had bad losses on their resume.

Arizona is 28-3 and have won 8 in a row. They have lost one game in the last two months. Most of their Pac 12 games have been blowout wins. Good front court and probably the best wings in the country. I used to criticize McConnell, but he's actually having a really good season and looks improved.

They could get upset, but I think Arizona is genuinely one of the best teams in the country.
