With conference play now in full swing, which team do you think will win the NCAA Championship this year? A lot of quality teams, like Kansas, Memphis, North Carolina, Duke, UCLA, and many others. Thoughts?

KU only team better than memphis, imo. leave it up to digger to point out the obvious in that memphis cant shoot free throws for shit and that will cost them deep in the tourney. by the way, your boy hansbrough would get slapped around like a little bitch against memphis. DORSEY OWNS PAINT

Not Kansas:
Self hasn't shown how to win in the tourney, Kansas will choke before the final 4.

Not Memphis:
No free-throws, no way. They will blow a game they should have won from the line. had em picked to win it 2 years ago, could have easily done it then, died the same fate. They couldn't shoot em then, nor now.

maybe UCLA:
Good D, Good coach, 3 times charm.

Probably UNC:
Better chances than UCLA because the refs will be in their back pocket a-la a few years ago. They were on their way to going to the 4 last year, but the refs felt guilty of their blatant bias at the 5 min mark of the G'Town game, put the whistles away, low and behold the heels were beat. Amazing how that works.

Watch Tennessee: many options from 3 and Lofton hasnt even played his best this year. NCAA's, a hot 3 point team can beat anybody, if they all get hot they can run over anyone.

Az and USC can beat anyone on a given night. Those are the dangerous type teams come tourney night. Probably will not win it all, but look for them to pull upsets in the first 3 rounds.

All of these teams are good and worthy. it is wide open. kansas is awfully tough as is Memphis. Coach Cal is great. Them against in state Rivals Tenn coming up is a big game and big rivalry, '

Anyone but Duke and coachKrybaby.

Memphis is rolling bigtime. Rose is the piece that gets them over the top. They are my pick to win it with Rose the Most Outstanding Player.

Kansas has it all but something tells me its just not going to happen for them but they are loaded. Maybe it is Self?

UNC just seems like the want to outscore you and they don't seem to have it on the defensive end (kinda remind me of the Suns in this way).

UCLA has a legit shot - I'm not that into the Love lovefest but Collison and Shipp are nice.

others that I feel have a shot are:
GTown - at tourney time if they slow down they can be a force
Indiana/Michigan St - I can see one of these 2 making a run. They both seem to get on streaks where they can play high level basketball but aren't always there so if one of these win the BigTen tourney I can see them making some noise.
Texas A&M - I know they have had some tough games but I like them as a sleeper Final Four.

I don't see Tenn, Duke, Wash St, Wiscy, Texas, others getting there.

I'd love to see Memphis v Kansas in the title game.

I am a huge Kansas fan as most know. I think they have all the pieces and are the kind of team that comes around once every 20 years or so. Kind of like the Pitino -- Kentucky teams in the 90's. Defense is what sets them apart.

Memphis is very good and I think those are the two best teams.

North Carolina will not make it to the final four.

UCLA will not make it to the final four.

I like Arizona as an outsider and maybe even Indiana.

I also think Duke has a great shot to be in the final 4.

Those are my opinions.

Memphis and Kansas have been steamrolling people. Memphis had a small hiccup y-day though and their conference is weak.
