View Full Version : UConn is the best in the nation.

Duke always gets ridiculous love from the voters and media. Most of it is deserved. But, they are not the best team in the country this year. UConn is the best team in the nation now that they've got their point guard back.

Has anyone seen them play since Williams returned? They are flat out sick. They have it all, point guard that can create and defend, veteran shooters, athletic wings, and post players.

My loyalty to Michigan State prevents me from picking UConn for the National Championship. But, if I look at a world without the Spartans, I'm picking UConn to win it all. They are amazing and they'd beat Duke by 10. Agree...Disagree?

All very well points...it is a shame that Sumpter is out for Villinova...because if he were in the mix I would love to say 'Nova...but I cannot argue with your UConn pick. Williams coming back gives them someone that can dish the rock and run the offense.

he's still a quality player now for nova but nothing at all what he could have been

Well I havent been sold on Duke at all. They almost lost to IU without White.

I think Texas is going to come back and make some serious noise. I Know they lost to Duke and bad, but I think UT has too much talent and I could see them winning it all for that double dip.

I think Texas is very good, but they don't have that swagger of a Champion. I think that Duke game killed them psychologically. They'll have a great year, but when they see a big boy come tourney time, I bet their collars will feel a little tighter.

I think there are an awful lot of posers this year. Give it a couple years to see the full effect of the new NBA age limit (assuming dumbass players don't go to Europe). Tourney time should be interesting. Even a poser can catch a break and beat the far better team.

Uconn-Texas finals with Uconn winning it.
