Out in the Elite 8 in mine. That style of ball just isnt going to win a title.

We are the BPI favorite, a tool that ESPN created. Yet, everyone who works for ESPN thinks we're the 1 seed least likely to win it. Makes sense lol

Michigan's tempo ranked 324th last year and they made it to the championship. Villanova won the title in 2016 with a tempo ranking of 274. You can still have success with a slow offense.

I get the whole less possessions means greater likelihood of an upset if either 1. your team goes cold or 2. the other team gets hot. But, this is Tony Bennett's best shooting team (4th in the country in 3-pt shooting percentage) and his guys play top-notch defense. I like their chances, especially in a relatively weak region.

Why not?
