Sherron Collins – Kansas star point guard, Conqueror of Ulduar, Twilight Vanquisher

There doesn’t seem to be a dominant team in NCAA hoops this year… and I love it. The Opening Round of March Madness is only a month away (March 16th to be exact) so we thought now was a good time to start paying attention to college basketball (let’s face it, for the most part, the college basketball regular season blows).

At this point Kansas and Kentucky have separated themselves from the rest of the field, but only slightly. I say slightly because Kansas lost to Tennessee, and Kentucky lost to South Carolina. Those might have been decent road losses if we we’re talking college football, but losing to Tennessee and South Carolina in basketball? Not so great. Nonetheless they’re the top two teams in the country without question.

After Kansas and Kentucky you could shuffle the remaining 23 teams in a hat it’s so close. Villanova has been in the top 3 seemingly all year despite losses to Temple, Georgetown and UConn. Quite frankly, Scottie Reynolds & Co. don’t impress me at all. I do like Purdue, Syracuse, Kansas State, Ohio State ad Michigan State, and I believe they will all make runs deep into the tournament.

Duke is soft, West Virginia will struggle because of Bobby Huggins, Georgetown is perpetually overrated, and the rest of the teams in the top 25 just aren’t very talented.

In summary, and to be honest, my opinion doesn’t mean shit! I want to hear from y’all… who are the contenders and who are the pretenders? somebody out there has to know more about college hoops than me!
