On Saturday, then number one Ohio State was knocked off by Wisconsin. Just two days later, new number one Kansas was beat at home by arch rival Kansas State.
There is not a favorite to win the tournament. Every conference seems to have
one or two teams that can make a deep run.
Arguments are always ongoing as to which conference is the best. Some say it's the Big East and their possible 11 teams to get into the big dance. Still, others say the Big Ten is the best with Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
I'm still not ready to give up hope on Michigan State. Tom Izzo seems to bring the best out of his guys in March. So if they make the tournament, watch out.
Yet, even the small conferences have a shot.
The Mountain West has BYU and super shooter Jimmer Fredette, who averages 27.5 ppg and could carry the Cougars deep into the tournament. San Diego State has an experienced team that has been trough a lot of tough games and could very well make a run in the big dance.
My pick to win it all right now? Pittsburgh. They are the best team in what I believe to be the toughest conference, and I'm a Big Ten guy.
Get your popcorn ready, because it's going to be a show.
