I've watched the tournament for years but this is the first year I've paid attention to the season as well. Your videos have definitely helped me understand more about college basketball
I think Memphis is gonna make a run if they get in. They just had a very solid game against the beat team in the country even when their best player was out with an injury.
I have a question about Kentucky. I haven’t watched them much this year but in 2014 they upset the badgers and made the national championship sadly in 2014. So they have a similar team you think when it comes to skill?
I'm a Kansas fan so I have quite a but of familiarity with the Big XII schools. If I were to pick sleeper teams from the Big XII, I certainly agree with your two choices. I also believe Arkansas is vastly underrated. Watching the Kansas/WV last weekend, I thought to myself WV is most definitely a tournament team. It will be a shame if WV doesn't make the tournament.
I hope they do. I'm an MSU fan and have always liked Illinois. Had you guys going to the chip a few years ago and it didn't turn out well so it's hard for me to pick you guys again, but still rooting a ton. Us big ten teams have to stick together in March... 23 years without a championship in our conference doesn't sit right with me
I have a somewhat unpopular opinion that if Kansas doesn't win, no other 1-3 seed will. Houston plays in such a terrible conference, Purdue chokes every March, and Bama has the country against them right now with the drama. Outside of them I don't trust anyone in the top 15 besides maybe Baylor and UCLA, i just personally don't see UCLA winning. It'd be so cool to see a sleeper/high seed team win, and if there's a year to do it, it's this one.
@@EliGAMEZBURN tell me who was the last SEC team standing the last 2 seasons. Like it or not the HOGS are a better tournament team than Alabama. We are better at Basketball
A sleeper team you didn’t say has to be Oral Roberts. This team shocked the world a couple years ago, and I believe they’re going to do it again. Max Abmas is amazing and they have a 7 1/2 foot tall center, in Connor Vanover. He may not be elite at his position, but he’s pretty good, as is this team. I can Oral Roberts getting to the Sweet Sixteen again, and possibly do better.
FYI anyone hoping my Spartans are going to find some Izzo March Madness be weary. This same team minus one starter did have Duke on the ropes last year however we can get any stops & can't close teams out. Offensively we can play with anyone but D wins championships. Play very hard just aren't athletic enough to shut teams down. I'm still picking them for final 4 but it's with my heart.
yo danny i love the vids. i did some research to 2012 on 'lopsided' teams both offensively and defensively per kenpom. If you have a top 10 DEFENSE, but an offense ranked 49th or lower, you would most likely exit the tournament (27 team sample size) [Round of 64] 56% [Round of 32] 22% [Sweet 16] 7% [Elite 8] 7% [Final 4] 7% Conversely, If you have a top 10 OFFENSE, but an defense ranked 49th or lower, you would most likely exit the tournament (42 team sample size) [Round of 64] 38% [Round of 32] 24% [Sweet 16] 26% [Elite 8] 12% Nothing crazy, but it would appear a team like Tennessee who is 67off/1def, per kenpom, is much more likely to get upset in the first round.
My sleeper team is NC State people are not giving them respect I think they have some playmakers like Joiner and Smith and DJ Burns a big body I feel like they can give any team damage lots of damage
Watch out for Saint Mary's, amazing defense and finally have 3 solid scorers in Mahaney Johnson and Saxen. Look for them to make at least a sweet 16 run
I've watched the tournament for years but this is the first year I've paid attention to the season as well. Your videos have definitely helped me understand more about college basketball
Watch out for NC State. lethal guard combo in Joiner and Smith, Burns can score on anyone in the post.
I think Memphis is gonna make a run if they get in. They just had a very solid game against the beat team in the country even when their best player was out with an injury.
not with penny as their coach. I've never seen someone screw over more kids in all of sports
So exited for the tournament
What are your thoughts on Saint Marry’s and how much of a run they could make? I jus glove their guards and the style of their play…
They have potential to go far for sure!

Big win over Iowa state on the road might’ve locked up there bid!
@@Dannyology We just neat #11 K-State so were definitly in now
Illini are a huge championship potential team but they HAVE to play consistent
I hope they do. I'm an MSU fan and have always liked Illinois. Had you guys going to the chip a few years ago and it didn't turn out well so it's hard for me to pick you guys again, but still rooting a ton.

That’s all Illinois has been. I wouldn’t pick them until they prove they can win games in march
@@logandnl thanks for being respectful about it too many ppl hate on Illinois
@@Fightingillini23 with that being said I’d pick FAU
Yeah if Malik hall can play good in the tourney we could definitely make the second weekend
yessir
And if Tyson gets hot

Marshall I'd say could be a sleeper team as well we just have to stay focused and keep winning
I hope so Marshall is my second favorite team behind wvu. Herd have to win there league if so I think they can pull off an upset this year
Unfortunately they just lost
@@jacob45415 I know that
@@michaelbias8988 figured I’m not saying they can’t be in the tournament I think they will beat southern miss in the sun belt champ.
People don't realize how good Nick Smith Jr is, Arkansas could go far
But then there is Alabama crashing Arkansas’s March madness chances
Woo Pig!!
@@EliGAMEZBURN tell me who was the last SEC team standing the last 2 seasons. Like it or not the HOGS are a better tournament team than Alabama. We are better at Basketball
Arkansas is always well coached and not fun to play against
Furman, Oral Roberts and College of Charleston.
UConn only needs its confidence back.
I like the play of Indiana as of late. I really believe they are better than Purdue.
Same Purdue is a one dimensional team and they don't have a gaurd than can go for 30 like Hood-Schifino
where’d you get that shirt? it’s clean

fs thanks bro, good vid btw

I can see that is.
Missouri beat KY and IL and split series w/ Arkansas. Why aren't they in here?
cheated arkansas in missouri
Utah State is being heavily slept on.

Drake is a pretty good team because they can beat Miami and then move on farther

If you have a top 10 DEFENSE, but an offense ranked 49th or lower, you would most likely exit the tournament (27 team sample size)
[Round of 64] 56%
[Round of 32] 22%
[Sweet 16] 7%

Conversely, If you have a top 10 OFFENSE, but an defense ranked 49th or lower, you would most likely exit the tournament (42 team sample size)

Appreciate the stats! And I agree with them I’ve been vocal about Tennessee being frauds this year. Furthest I see them going is the sweet 16
tennessee and texas frauds every single year
I think duke is the highest sleeper this year
Can you live stream iowa state vs Texas tonight
I’ll be live for Marquette @ Creighton at 830 so we’ll be able to catch the ending of that one after this game
830 eastern time?
no mid majors making a run?
Xavier to the Final Four
No Marquette
@@vvslaysnoobs9595 I need to watch more of Marquette before I say yes or no
Xavier is overrated
@@marcusmariota8 Marquette is better than Xavier
Honestly, I’m a huge Marquette fan and think X and MU are pretty even.

St. Mary’s

Where Marquette at
Yall ranked 6th. Not a sleeper
@@scottyking7161 good point
Marquette
Yall ranked 6th he said sleeper
