NCAA Basketball's Mid Season sleeper? and Faker?Sleepers: Arkansas, Gonzaga, Louisville and Texas A&M Fakers: Kansas State, Notre Dame, Butler, Drake and Stanford I really think this is the season a couple of sub-8 seeds have legitimate chances of making it to the Final Four. I just don't see a large talent separation between the Memphis-UCLA-North Carolina-Duke-Tennessee-Kansas group and those ranked 7-32. It all comes down to match ups, style of play and if teams hit their free thows and enough threes. |

NCAA Basketball's Mid Season sleeper? and Faker?I feel teams are either made or broken in the latter half of the season when conference games kick in. A reasonably good or poor team from one conference could do really well against an out of conference opponent (through lack of familiarity) - but the real meat and potatoes takes place in the heart of conference play. K-State isn't exactly a sleeper -- I don't think a lot of people, save K-State fans, counted them in the top 25 this year. But they are winning when the winning counts - down the stretch (8-1 in their last 9) and are poised for a tournament bid. Faker: Ole Miss. As the season wears on, they will fade into obscurity. |

NCAA Basketball's Mid Season sleeper? and Faker?UNC will not make the final four for one simple reason...they don't play defense...you won't win 4 tournament games in a row by outscoring people, everybody has an offensive night off. Hansborough is a great offensive player, Lawson is a great offensive player...you get the point.

NCAA Basketball's Mid Season sleeper? and Faker?Though I hate to think of my 'Cats as a sleeper, I guess I have to be content with that. The rest of the road is fairly easy, so games @TN and @Vandy will be telling. If they lose both of these, I think we can call the NCAA's a dream. For this year, at least. I think your "faker" is Georgetown and your sleeper is either Louisville or maybe even Maryland. Time will tell all. |

NCAA Basketball's Mid Season sleeper? and Faker?I'd like to throw out the Baylor Bears as the midseason sleeper. They are a good team that is coming of age. Can you call Kansas State a sleeper? Could the pull off a Syracuse of 2003? I think it is possible.
For my pretenders I would go with the Texas A&M Aggies & the Texas Longhorns. Neither team should do much in the NCAA tourney (assuming they both make it). I only follow the Big XII closely - that's my excuse for all my picks being from there. |
