Name Your Hottest Teams

[Bryce7]

WE do not have many upsets so far this year, so with 32 teams left, the tournament may play out fairly straight forward. That said, certain teams are playing above their pay grade. Here is how I rank them with one the best.

1. Duke
2. Nova
3. ISU
4. Michigan
5. Witchita State
6. Arizona
7. Kentucky

What would be your ranking of hot teams left in the 32?

MSU looked a lot better than a 9 seed when they handled Miami last night. Their game with KU should be a good one

Too bad Miami played stupid too, to start. They could have been up 20 and squashed the confidence of MSU. MSU has the talent to play with KU, but I don't think KU will play stupid.

 

[ISU_phoria]

I think UNC should be on the list. Duke may have taken them down in the ACC tournament, but they are playing well and on a roll right now.

 

[MNclone]

Kentucky did not look good last night.
I also want impressed with Wichita State either. Dayton was just worse.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

I like that Iowa State team.

Not sure how you can keep KU off this list. They absolutely destroyed UC Davis last night after a slow start. Take away that TCU loss, and they are the hottest team in CBB.

Have to agree, Kentucky loves running terrible offense, throwing up bricks, and then just rebounding/blocking their opponent into the ground. Not the most fun basketball to watch. 17% from 3!!

Miami looked absolutely uninspired against MSU. I've never seen a team just go through the motions on the court while giving up a lead like that, almost no fire at all in that team. I just can't see KU losing to MSU, but you never know I suppose.

If we're needing to take away losses we're not talking about hot teams.

I know Iowa State is pretty hot but they don't hold a candle..

I'm going to predict Michigan State beating Kansas. We will face them in Kansas City. Our 4 seniors versus their 4 freshman starters. Monte vs MSU. The storylines write themselves.

And cheaper tickets!!

But we ignore the fact ISU got killed in Morgantown two weeks ago?

If that matchup does happen, ISU is going to crush them.

 

[CTTB78]

ISU, USC, Michigan.

Too bad that two of the biggest media darlings, SMU and Nevada, didn't pan out.

 

[Cyclone27inQC]

I think the Iowa State Twister sisters are the hottest team around.
Edit: I was thinking about the other term of HOT but you get my point.
Go Cyclones

 

[cyIclSoneU]

And cheaper tickets!!

This alone would be reason enough to root for MSU tomorrow if ISU wins today. But there are many other reasons too

 

[FinalFourCy]

Not at all. ISU has won 4 straight in convincing fashion against good teams. KU's loss was one game ago for ***** sake. 3/4 of a good game against a 16 seed isn't criteria for being hot

 

[cyclones500]

Rhode Island should be on the list. I think we'll see URI vs. U-M in Sweet 16. And Middle Tennessee beats Butler to get to second weekend.

wuuuut, I thought the T-Hoks have the next Fab 4 freshman playing in the NIT this year. They talk actually of being in the big dance next year and winning it. So confusing.
**** Iowa
