I would bet everything I own that Villanova does win it all. Everything. Socks, gold bond powder, kegerator, macaroni n cheese boxes, sharpies, boxing hand wraps, coasters, dryer sheets, you name it.
I like MSU, Nova, and Kansas' chances, and MSU when it's all said and done. All three have great veteran point guards which I think John Wall would struggle against deep in the tourney. The only thing I am really confident about is that UK won't win it all.
Rautins has no conscience, and I like it. He'll pull up from 8 feet behind the line without thinking twice. Reminds me of Francisco Garcia in that respect. Lofton as well.
I talked to some 'cuse fans this weekend and they aren't optimistic that he's going to be coming back at all. I tend to think that he will be able to make it back if they make it to the final four. But that will likely require a win against K-state.
An Onuaku-less 'cuse versus K State is a tough matchup. Not even sure who would be favored. K-state is goooood.
