I think a healthy and full cast of characters at Arizona puts them right with Duke/Villanova/MSU.  Outside of those I generally agree.  There are IMO at least 100 mediocre teams who could beat each other up and possibly, if they get lucky, get a big W in the Tourney setting against one of those big boys.  Syracuse is right there.  But, yeah, it is wide open.

At this point, barring a real collapse in the ACC, it looks like we should get in pretty comfortably as long as we stay 9-9.  A collapse could happen if we get one more injury or if the team starts to get worn down which would not surprise.  Potential foul trouble is an issue as well, obviously.  Hats off to the coaches and players to this point.  It’s a real treat to watch them dive on the floor, play gritty, and make plays for each other.  It can override the anemic offense at times as long as the D stays constant which it has been.

Still, mediocre or not, there are teams SU I think would really struggle with in the Tourney if it comes to that.   Captain Obvious of course but WVU, Xavier, Seton Hall come to mind.  But the Tourney to me sounds probable so I’m being optimistic.
