ASU and Herb Sendek - sleeper for the final 4

No doubt. James Harden is the goods, and it was nice to see them win a defensive battle at Arizona last week. If they can become more consistent on that side of the ball, they're scary. I know I'll be loading up on 'em in March since they'll probably be underseeded.

they won in Pauley a couple of weeks ago (not that this UCLA team is anything special) but when kids start winning where they had always lost , they start to believe that anything is possible ...

Cool keep eye on marquette!

I think its wide open! Best game of year last night in duke vs wake. You can say what you want, but the big east is loaded and keeps beating each other up. Everyone talks about louisville and uconn, but what about marquette! They are undefeated and playing great. Their guards mcneal, mathews and james may be the best in the nation. With heyward playing good inside they have the ability to win it all. Playing gtown on saturday. Could be a statement game with an easy win against gtown.l

The AFC West was pretty evenly matched this year too. Evenly matched does not automatically mean all are good.

Having more tournament teams doesn't make a conference better.

Big East will have the most teams but I also bet Notre Dame won't be among them.

The Big East isn't tough top to bottom. The bottom five teams are a disgrace to the game of college basketball. One through eleven it is an amazing league but those bottom five teams are terrible.
