SEC Representing
Five SEC teams, Tennessee (19-7), Florida (17-10), Alabama (17-10), Texas A&M (17-10) and Kentucky (18-9) are all pretenders if you ask me. After watching North Carolina win their last five, I’m thinking the Tar Heels are suddenly a legitimate contender. Wichita State (21-5) is a definite contender that is looking and playing more and more like a favorite. Gonzaga is a contender, seeing as how they rank seventh in scoring (85.2 ppg) and 62nd in points allowed (67.7 ppg) and have caught fire at just the right time. Oklahoma has a legitimate superstar in point guard Trae Young, but they’re a pretender that is getting exposed at the worst possible time the last couple of weeks. Last but not least, I fully believe that Rhode Island (21-4) is a legitimate contender even though they’re not getting a whole lot of love, mostly because they play in the Atlantic 10.Rest of the Field
