The Pure Hoops Quick Hitters

Michigan is one of the best defensive teams in the nation and on offense they rarely turn the ball over. They beat Villanova, North Carolina, and South Carolina while going undefeated outside of the Big 10. They feature NBA prospects and talented wing players.

Gonzaga is loaded and this is Mark Few’s best team. Rui Hachimura leads the way and is a future NBA Lottery pick. Their supporting cast is deep with Brandon Clarke, Zach Norvell, Josh Perkins, and Filip Petrusev. They lead the nation in scoring margin and are destined for a deep tournament run.

Nevada is one of the top teams in the nation out of the Mountain West Conference with a number of non-conference wins against Pac 12 teams and an undefeated non-conference record. They play with intensity but also play loose. They’re balanced and tough.

Kansas State is one of the best defensive teams but spotty offensively. They stay in games with their defense and have future NBA talent in Dean Wade and Xavier Sneed. Barry Brown is a veteran with over 1,700 points in his career, so K-State is tournament ready.

LSU expects to make lots of noise in the tournament after missing the dance last season. With leadership from Tremont Waters and inside presence Naz Reid, they play fast and pound the glass. They also play well on the road.
