There is a 2:1 favorite in the NCAA Tournament?

REALLY!?

I just saw an interview with some college hoops expert about the bracket and the ESPN guy asks "So who you got? Kansas?". This is incredible. Defense not as good as year's past under Bill Self, specifically an over-reliance on Cole Adrich and a lack of defensive rebounding. I love Sherron Collins, yes Mr. President he is the definition of a senior experienced guard, but this has reached a point of insanity. UNC was 2/1 last year, they were probably the most obvious dominant team we'll see in awhile, 3 years of chemistry together. Sherron is great but I don't think these younger guys get the team effort it takes to win 6 do-or-die games, that UNC learned the hard way. Marcus Morris and Tyshawn Taylor are 2 sophomores who are key players and weren't on the 2007 national championship team. There best 3 point shooter (not Morningstar, get real, he's just good for FTs) Xavier Henry is a freshman. This team had one close (huge winning margin) BIG (colorado ot? no) game this year, @ Kansas State where yes, Sherron the Don made it happen...but I don't know, I don't trust the other guys just yet to hit the big shot. I see Maryland, Michigan State, or Ohio State upsetting the Jayhawks...and at that point, this gets wide OPEN unless Cuse can beat BYU in Utah. West Virginia is the only team on the other half of the bracket I trust to win a tough close game, but they will have problems with Wisconsin or Kentucky (I have the Badgers in the Final 4 nbd). Thats why I'm picking Ohio St to win it all in my bracket. Great 3 point shooters (maybe a little too reliant, we will see) along with The Villain and The Beast (Lauderdale) and #3 overall in kenpom combined with a dominant conference tournament (big 10 underrated too)...there is a lot to like about the Buckeyes. No true point guard, but Evan Turner really plays like Magic Johnson so this may be a unique case where this doesn't hurt a team. They are +300 to win the Midwest, and +1500 to win it all (also jumping on the ridiculous juicy odds for Wisconsin, BYU, and Notre Dame to win regions and championship). I think this is INCREDIBLY cheap due to the Kansas Jayhawks over-favoritism and them being in the same bracket.

But Evan Turner can melt down and lose his composure very easily (Kansas frustrates you)...especially if his teammates are not playing well...but fuck it, I can't take all this Kansas hype and a season long feeling the Big 10 is the most underrated conference in the country...in a season filled with few teams that combine NBA talent with coaching excellence and a team desire that survives a do-or-die scenario 6 times, I'll go to Big 10 basic well coached veteran teams with underrated superstar NBA talent in the making (The Villain, Trevon Huge)...The Badgers and Buckeyes in the final. and i'll pick the winner on Easter.
