A lot of the traditionals have been struggling lately: Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, Michigan St. Oklahoma and North Carolina are looking pretty good. Could be wide open for a surprise team or two.
Final 4 Predictions?

I like Oklahoma and Buddy Hield is amazing but I don't trust the Big 12 in March Madness anymore. They beat up on each other in conference play and then lose in the tourney. Only Big 12 team I trust in the tourney is Kansas because of Bill Self's coaching. I think that will change soon as Shaka Smart is now at Texas.
I see Oklahoma as a #1 seed and losing to the #4 seed in the Sweet 16. The final four is up for grabs this year because there have been so many upsets. But almost every year, a conference champion wins it all because they get red-hot. If I had to pick my final 4 right now, I would say Indiana, Xavier, Kansas, Maryland. Hoping the ACC misses out this year!

I'm not seeing Kansas unless someone emerges at the 5. Ellis is good, but they are a mess at the 5. Which means they have to have good guard play, which they have not been getting the last few weeks. If Selden gets back to beast mode, then they have a chance. I'm not convinced Shaka is the answer at texas, but we shall see.
