For me:
1. UK
2. St. John’s (Anybody watched any of their games? Fun to watch and Pitino is just the master of his craft.)
3. Any state teams that make the field (Louisville is a lock, had hopes for EKU but they’ve stumbled lately.)
4. Most SEC teams, including Arkansas.
5. Houston—they play so hard every game, you have to respect that.

On the please no side;
1. UConn—They sure don’t look like they are capable of a three-peat and I cannot stand Hurley, glad we didn’t get him.
2. Kansas—Maybe it goes back to running up the score on Pitino all those years ago, but I cannot stand them.
3. Duke—A little easier to take this year because Flagg isn’t the usual Duke punk, but they are still Duke.

Honestly, I have no illusions that UK is going to win the whole thing, so I’d be okay with Auburn winning it, I think they’ve been the best team overall. And I’d love, love to see an all SEC final four.
