If you had to pick the National Championship Game after this 1st month, give me your matchup

Out of all the teams I've seen this year, Florida and Arizona are the teams that I feel are the two best. Yes better than Duke. I haven't watched Indiana yet, but other than them I've seen most of the better teams. They would be my 2 best bets to win the National Championship right now...

tonight 10pm ESPN Florida at Arizona

I'm watching a team right now play WV that is pretty damn good.

Michigan is loaded.

The last 4 minutes plus OT in the Indiana Butler game today was fantastic. March Madness in December as Clark Kellog coined it.

Duke is overrated
Arizona hasn't played to its potential yet, bigs have a lot of growing up to do, Lyons has brought some of the Jekyll/Hyde inconsistency with him from his days at Xavier. Arizona looked really bad for 20 minutes @ Southern Miss but are pretty loaded. Love Nick Johnson's game wish he would get featured more. Think they win tonight but I'm generally low on Florida and this is the first game outside Florida this season

If I was betting on this, I would take AZ for that reason and for the fact Florida is winning by an average of like 25ppg. I am unsure how they will respond to adversity. But they are really good. And I agree AZ isn't perfect

I see Arizona coming out strong and being up 8-10 at half. I really like their athleticism.

I also like AZ since the entire board is playing Florida.

What a great game and I'm glad the PAC-12 showed up after last year's debacle.

Here are my observations:

Florida is for real and P Young is a beast down low.
Murphy is a very solid player both down low and up high but can't be trusted with the ball. Had way too many turnovers down the stretch.
Rosario is really picking up his game for sure.
Solomon Hill needs to get to the hole all the time instead of relying on his jumper.
Big man Ter something needs to be stronger with the ball and keep it up higher. Little guards stealing it left and right.
Lyons is solid and a veteran but forces a few shots. They'll come if he's patient.

What a game.

Illinois has looked great against top teams. They beat Butler handily in Maui. The beat Gonzaga solidly in Washington, and they're undefeated for new coach.

Big Ten is loaded: Illinois, Michigan, OSU, IU.

I really like how Illinois looked and Paul is an amazing player but they have no inside game and you can't win without a post presence.
