Possession Arrow 11/7/17: College Basketball Returns!!!!!

By Pat Tregoning, @PatNShaker


It’s November which can only mean one thing…the most wonderful season of the sports year has returned! College basketball season gets underway this week with most schools opening their regular seasons, signifying the beginning of the journey to this year’s Men’s Final Four in San Antonio, Texas. In this edition of Possession Arrow, we will give you everything you need to know for this exciting season that awaits us; from previewing the favorites to win the tournament to bold predictions to WAY too early Final Four predictions, and we try to predict the NCAA Tournament field. We have you covered here.


The Favorites



Duke Blue Devils (Last Season: 28-9, 11-7; NCAA Round of 32)

Another year is upon us and once again Duke enters this college hoops season as one of the favorites to cut down the nets come tournament time. Despite losing Luke Kennard, Harry Giles, Frank Jackson and Jayson Tatum to the NBA Draft; Coach K reloaded with another top 5 recruiting class that will feature some size. The team is led by Senior Greyson Allen, but outside of that? He will need to rely on this incoming recruiting class of future NBA picks Wendell Carter, Gary Trent Jr. (Yes THAT Gary Trent, MAC fans), Trevon Duval and Marvin Bagley III. The biggest challenge this team will face this year is leadership. Can Greyson Allen become the leader the team needs? Another thing to watch for this team will be whether or not this Freshmen class can step in and meet the expectations the fans of Durham have. The Blue Devils have an early test in Michigan State (Neutral Court). If Allen can lead this team with a strong senior year and these freshmen can contribute right away? Expect to see the Blue Devils in San Antonio this April.



Kansas Jayhawks (Last Season: 31-5,16-2; NCAA Elite Eight)

One of the few constants in College Basketball is the Kansas Jayhawks. The Jayhawks have won the Big 12 each of the last 13 seasons and have not missed the NCAA tournament since 1989. Do not expect that to change this year under Bill Self. While Josh Jackson, Frank Mason III and Landon Lucas are gone, look to Devontae Graham, Malik Newman and Sviatoslav Mykhailliuk to lead this team. With the edition of five star recruit Billy Preston arriving on campus, all eyes will be to Allen Fieldhouse and the Kansas Jayhawks to make a possible National Championship run.



Michigan State Spartans (Last Season: 20-15, 10-8; NCAA 2nd round)

After a year with a lot of hype, only to be met by underwhelming results; Coach Izzo went out and strengthened his basketball team, to the tune of a top 15 recruiting class and a number two preseason ranking. A big plus for the Spartans this season comes in the form of Miles Bridges returning for a sophomore season. If he wants to improve his draft stock, it is vital for him to have a strong year. Tom Izzo also strengthened his team even more by adding five star recruit Jaren Jackson Jr, who should make an immediate impact this season. If this team can get out to a good start early on (early season games include Duke (neutral court) and Notre Dame at home)? They will be making some noise in March.



Kentucky Wildcats (Last Season: 32-6, 16-2; NCAA Elite Eight)

For yet another year, Kentucky and Coach Calipari are welcoming in yet another top 5 recruiting class. Even after losing five players to last season’s draft (led by first rounders De’Aaron Fox, Bam Adebayo, Malik Monk) expect a reload of talent from the Wildcats this season under John Calipari. A loaded freshmen class storms into Lexington this season led by SG Hamidou Diallo, PG Quade Green, SF Kevin Knox, C Nick Richards, PF P.J Washington and SF Jarred Vanderbilt. The Wildcats are an EXTREMELY young team with high expectations for another deep run in the NCAA Tournament with the hope of putting another title banner in Rupp Arena. With early games against UCLA (neutral court) and at Louisville, all eyes will be on this loaded recruiting class to produce.

Possession Arrow: MARCH MADNESS IS FINALLY HERE!

By Pat Tregoning, @PatNShaker

Welcome back to another edition of the Possession Arrow. The brackets have been announced and we will have you covered from wall-to-wall. In this edition, we will give you breakdowns of each regions, including first round upset alerts, "can't miss" match-ups in the first weekend and who I think will come out of each region.

EAST REGION: 

1. Villanova
2. Duke
3. Baylor
4. Florida
5. Virginia
6. SMU
7. South Carolina
8. Wisconsin
9. Virginia Tech
10. Marquette
11. Providence/USC
12. UNC Wilmington
13. East Tennessee State
14. New Mexico State
15. Troy
16. Mount St. Marys/New Orleans

The overall number one seed of the tournament belongs to the defending champion Villanova Wildcats. The region's top four teams are rounded out by Duke, Baylor and the Florida Gators. All eyes are pointing to a regional final at MSG of Villanova versus Duke, but do not sleep on the rest of this bracket. This region is loaded with first round upsets as well. A potential South Carolina-Duke second round matchup is something to watch for as it would set up a legitimate home game (Greenville, SC). If you are looking for possible upsets in round one? Look no further than your typical "5-12" matchup with the Virginia Cavaliers versus the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) Seahawks. Another upset to watch for in the opening round of this region is the 4:13 matchup between the Florida Gators and the East Tennessee State Buccaneers. When the smoke clears, I have the red hot Duke Blue Devils behind the play of Grayson Allen/Ohio's Luke Kennard and NBA prospect Jayson Tatum (see my NBA draft post in the archives on him) led by Coach K advancing over the defending champs to go to the Final Four.


WEST REGION

1. Gonzaga
2. Arizona
3. Florida State
4. West Virginia
5. Notre Dame
6. Maryland
7. Saint Marys
8. Northwestern (First Tourney appearance EVER)
9. Vanderbilt
10. Virginia Commonwealth (VCU)
11. Xavier
12. Princeton
13. Bucknell
14. Florida Gulf Coast
15. North Dakota
16. South Dakota State 

This region has the best chance to go upset-free in my opinion. The West is led by the Gonzaga Wildcats who held down the number one spot in the polls for most of the final third of the college basketball season. They are a team that can shoot the rock (43% from deep this season) but they also play tenacious defense (averaging five blocks per game) led by their big man Przemek Karnowski (7'1 300 lbs). Coach Mark Few always has his teams ready to go and they should have a relatively easy road to the Sweet 16.

From there? It gets interesting.

Don't sleep on Bob Huggins and "Press Virginia" team as a possible team that could knock off Gonzaga. Notre Dame's balanced team, (advanced to either Sweet 16 or Elite 8 the last two tourneys) could also pose a threat to the Bulldogs in Sweet 16 play as well.

Do not sleep on the Arizona Wildcats either to make a deep run into the tournament led by their big man Lauri Markkanen. The play of Alonzo Trier and Kobi Simmons has come on strong for Sean Miller's team at the right time, If they can combat the 2-3 zone that teams play against them, I think the Arizona Wildcats will come out of the West Region to face the Blue Devils.



MIDWEST REGION: 

1. Kansas
2. Louisville
3. Oregon
4. Purdue
5. Iowa State
6. Creighton
7. Michigan 
8. Miami Hurricanes
9. Michigan State
10. Oklahoma State 
11. Rhode Island
12. Nevada
13. Vermont
14. Iona
15. Jacksonville State
16. NC Central/UC Davis 

This is the region that could mess EVERYONE'S bracket up. I urge all readers to approach this region with caution. A possible powerhouse matchup of Kansas led by Josh Jackson versus Tom Izzo's Michigan State Spartans led by Miles Bridges could throw brackets into a tailspin. If the Jayhawks can get out of the first weekend and into the Sweet 16? They have an easy shot at reaching the Final Four.

This region is also home to the trendiest "underdog" to make a run in the tourney, John Beilein's Michigan Wolverines. After having a near-death experience and being forced to play part of the Big Ten tourney in practice uniforms, they made a cinderella run to win the B1G tourney and make the dance. They will be an underdog team to watch.

This region has upset alert potential in round one. Some possible upsets in round one include Rhode Island upsetting Creighton in the 6/11 matchup, Oklahoma State and Michigan in the 7/10 matchup and Nevada/Iowa State in the traditional 5/12 matchup as well.

Who comes out of the region in the end? It is hard to pick against the Kansas Jayhawks. Led by Player Of The Year candidates Josh Jackson and Frank Mason III and coach Bill Self, they have overcome adversity throughout the season, this March will be no different. I have the Jayhawks advancing out of the Midwest.



SOUTH REGION

1. North Carolina
2. Kentucky
3. UCLA
4. Butler
5. Minnesota
6. Cincinnati
7. Dayton
8. Arkansas
9. Seton Hall
10. Wichita State 
11. Kansas State/Wake Forest
12. Middle Tennessee
13. Winthrop
14. Kent State
15. Northern Kentucky
16. Texas Southern

This region has the best 1-2-3 seeds in the entire tournament, all three teams can make strong cases to win the National Title. Unfortunately, only one team can come out of each region. North Carolina is a veteran team that has quietly handled it's business all season. Led by coaching legend Roy Williams, the Tar Heels have proven they can win with either finesse play with guys like Joel Barry II and Justin Jackson, or by brute strength with Kennedy Meeks and Isaiah Hicks. They are a true "pick your poison" type team. All eyes will be on the guard play of UNC, after losing Kenny Williams to an ACL tear this year. Can Joel Barry have a big tournament to makeup for the thin depth of guards?

Then we have the Wildcats of Kentucky. Led by their big four of Malik Monk, De'Aaron Fox, Bam Adebayo and Isaiah Briscoe, the cats of the Bluegrass State have the NBA-ready talent but what they lack the most? Veteran leadership. With only three players on their roster with at least two years of collegiate playing experience, it will be interesting to see how they handle the bright lights and big stage of this tournament, as it could be the only thing standing between them and another title for Big Blue Nation.

Finally, there is the UCLA Bruins. Everyone is talking about Lonzo Ball (more for his Dad's comments but that is for another day) but you can not leave out the play of freshman big TJ Leaf as well with the two of them becoming the Bruins most dynamic duo since two guys by the names of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love. This Bruins team is not afraid of the big stage (win at Kentucky) and they can also score with the best of them 90.5 points per game. The offensive efficiency is key for the Bruins to make a deep tournament run and if they can tighten up the defense? Look out for Steve Alford's team.

If you are looking for first round upsets, this region will have them for you. I like 12th seeded Middle Tennessee led by Giddy Potts (best name in College Hoops ever) over the 5th seeded Golden Gophers of Minnesota in round one and don't rule out 10 seed Wichita State getting past the 7th seeded Flyers of Dayton in round one.

So who comes out of this top heavy region? I think the offensive efficiency of the UCLA Bruins find a way to slay the beasts of the South Region and head to the Final Four.



So then there were four.....

National Semifinal one: Duke Blue Devils vs Arizona Wildcats

Two teams with potent offenses could make for a classic Final Four matchup. Arizona with six players averaging between 9 and 17 points per game while Duke has a rounded offensive attack between Kennard/Allen and the other teammates. This might come down to whomever has the ball last. In the end? I think the Duke Blue Devils have just too many weapons for the Wildcats to deal with and advance to the National Title Game.

National Semifinal two: Kansas Jayhawks vs UCLA Bruins

These two teams cancel each other out matchup wise. You have a strong point guard matchup between Frank Mason III and Lonzo Ball. With strong play from forwards TJ Leaf and Josh Jackson, these teams matchup very well. At the end of the day? I think UCLA Bruins pulls a 2016 Villanova and rides the wave of offensive efficiency and reaches the National Title game.

National Title game: Duke Blue Devils vs UCLA Bruins

In a matchup of scoring attacks, Duke and UCLA could setup for an instant classic National Title game. Can Lonzo cement his place in UCLA lore? Or can Duke overcome the season of adversity? In the end, I think Duke has the most reliable offensive weapons and when they need to, they can lock in and play defense. It also comes down to coaching and when comparing the coaches, it's no question, you go with Coach K over Steve Alford. With that being said, I have the Duke Blue Devils cutting down the nets and winning the 2017 National Championship. 

There you have it folks, my March Madness prediction for this season. May your pencils be sharpened and may the brackets be forever in your favor.
