Everyone is doing the NCAA Framework. Your father, mother, brother, sister, cousin, aunt and uncle. Everyone has one, even if they know nothing about college basketball.
There are several famous teams in college basketball that all your family and friends will consider choosing for the NCAA Tournament Champion. But I'm here to tell you about a few favorite teams.
Here are the teams you should fade into the NCAA Tournament Rankings.
Team 1: Purdue Boilermakers
Team Purdue Boil beat Marquette, West Virginia, Gonzaga, and Duke in the non-conference standings. They also finished the Big Ten with a 15-5 conference record and won the Big Ten. But this team interests me in many areas. The defenders can't handle the full-court pressure and the defense may not be good enough in the NCAA Tournament. The Welsh team limited fouls. But that foul rate will increase as they play more aggressively offensively in other conferences in the NCAA Tournament.
Team 2: Tennessee Volunteers
Tennessee has been picked by many to win the SEC Tournament. Half of that was due to the SEC Tournament being held in Nashville, Tennessee. But the other half is because many people expect Tennessee to be a real threat in the SEC Tournament.
Instead, Tennessee lost to Missouri, 79-71. Offense can't do enough against a top offense in Missouri.
Plus, Zakai Zeigler will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. That will hurt the offense even more in the future. Don't pick Tennessee to go far in his NCAA Tournament of the year.
Team 3: Gonzaga Bulldogs
Gonzaga has never won an NCAA Tournament. They were very friendly. But they never won. The Bulldogs handled the business before St. Mary's Gaels in the WCC Finals.
They played exceptionally well in that game. But throughout the season, the defense was a bit shaky, especially at WCC, which couldn't compare to the Power-Seven conferences (including the A-10, the Big East).
There's no way I'm relying on Gonzaga to go along with the way they've played defensively this year. They can surprise and go to the Elite Eight or even the Final Four. But they won't win it all this year.
Team 4: Arizona Wild Cats
The Arizona Wildcats beat the Pac-12 against the UCLA Bruins in an intense championship match. Arizona looked good in that game.
But in the end, the defense was not impressive enough. Arizona only makes 16.9% of sales and has seen teams nail down nearly 33% from downtown. That won't get the job done before the top teams.
Arizona won't be upset anytime soon, but eventually, they'll face a team whose attack can beat them.
