This year's NCAA has no dominate team(s). There is no team in the NCAA right now that has demonstrated utter dominance and are on another level, for example, there is no 2012 Kentucky in the field. Any team in the top 20 can win the whole thing this year. That's the good news.
My concern going into March Madness would be who we are matched up against. If we get a team who is defensive minded first like Virginia, Cincy, Syracuse, Florida or has dominate, athletic big men, I think that poses problems for us. While our defense would keep us in the game against these types of teams, our weakness is our shooting and against strong defensive teams, our ability to hit shots would be taxed to the max.
We are not a very good 3 point shooting team (181st nationally). I wish our FG percentage would be better, (111th nationally). Assist per game is 114th nationally and our offensive rebounding is 100. What is even more troubling about these stats is that they are derived from playing relatively weak competition. So my concern is a combination of who we play and how well our perimeter shooting will stack up.
