It doesnt look like their will be one this year. Judging by the brackets....it clear sailing for Illinois....
But dont count out anybody from the Big East...

Villanova. If they can't beat you, they will break your arms.

I think that only thing that could stop Illinois from sailing straight through would be overconfidence. I think it will be UNC vs Ill in the final. Ill wins because UNC will be beat up by then. Until I saw the brackets, I was picking UNC. As a big east fan (UCONN) I have to say that the brackets are going to make it very tough for any of them to go too far. I would say that Syracuse has a shot, they have the talent, but I do not think that Boeheim (sp?) is a very good big game coach.

I don't think Illinios makes it to the elite 8, much less the final four. The tourney will show them a bit overrated for sure. UNC has the best shot, and they are hungry, getting bounced in the ACC tournament. Duke is good, but injuries and a brutal ACC schedule will take it's toll. Should make the sweet sixteen, but the elite 8 or final 4 will require a bit of luck and help. Could be a Duke/Kentucky rematch for the final four spot. Washington should not be a number one seed. That should have went to Wake Forest or Kentucky. Those teams will be out to prove something.
Sleeper is Florida.
Teams ripe for upsets: Kansas, Uconn, & Texas.
Watch out for OK State and Arizona.

What the H*&^ happened to the Big East?? BC, UCONN, Syracuse, all gone. On a side note, I watched the UW-Milwakee vs BC game, and those boys can play. Mil deserved the win, the way they hussled their butts off.

Arizona. They have a history of choking early to unheard of teams ( surfer boys from Santa Cruz State and others ) but If they get to the third round watch out.

I think if we (Utes) can get by Kentucky we could get to the final 4, but after that I think we are in trouble.
