I know it's early in the season, but I'm just wondering what teams people like so far this year. Obviously you have some great teams, like UNC/UK/OSU, but who else do you like. Who do you think the best team is so far?
Personally, I think UK is really, really good this year. That's obvious though, but I really like them. They will be very good defensively, as all of Cal's teams are. Right now, I think UK is the best team.
I know this isn't really an underdog here, but I really like this years Duke team. They have phenomenal guard play. I think their biggest problem will be post defense, but they do a pretty nice job of keeping the ball out of the post. They have a lot of different guards who can hit the three, as well as a big man who can pop the 3. I know it's early, but one thing that concerns me about Duke is their FT shooting. I think I saw as a team they average in the mid 60's. Not good.
I think Memphis looks good, not great..yet. They have a ton of team speed and a lot of individual talent. Honestly, I'm not sold on Pasnter as a coach yet.
I think Florida is pretty good as well. I know they lost to OSU, but I still like that team. They have some good experience and can be dangerous come March.
UCLA is surprisingly BAD. I think Arizona will be the team to beat in the PAC12.
Big12 is looking pretty solid right now. I think Kansas, and Missouri are pretty good teams. I haven't seen much of Baylor to make a judgement on them, but I know they are supposed to be good.
Wisconsin has been destroying teams on offense and defense. I don't think they have played a good enough team yet to fully show how good or average they are yet, though.
Again, I know it's not much of a surprise team, but Duke has been playing a lot better then I thought they would.
