Kenpom is flawed. UT rides one game that inflates their ratings.

Not really, but okay The ratings seem pretty spot on to me.

When one game cn influence things so greatly, that's a flawed system.
Mchigan wins by 10+. Jordan Morgan has another double double.

UCLA is very underrated. Ton of talent and they are on fire.

UCLA is very tented and a good offensive team, but they look soft without a strong inside presence. They have a Player that is a match up nightmare ?point forward.
I think it wi be a close game but they seem soft. How they call this game will be key.

Wouldn't you say Florida is on fire as well? What is it up to now, 28 wins in a row? I think Patric Young leads Florida to a win. Similar to the pitt game, close at half and then Florida will pull away in the 2nd half. Florida is so good at taking what you do best away. Adams will have a tough time finding open looks, and a couple Frazier 3s open it up for UF. GO GATORS!!!!!

Beating UCLA is a rite of passage for UF tourney teams. UK is hot and will beat Louisville. UT will lose a nail-biter.

UCLA has scored less than 70 points only 4 times (top 15 scoring) all year while UF has scored more than 70 in about 15 games. I dont' think UF can handle UCLA's firepower. Also, UCLA did it agains Arizona's defense which is better than UF's
Also, UCLA has ridiculous height across the board. Pretty sure every starter is 6'3 or bigger and most are 6'5 plus

You are fine with your opinions, but saying AZ's defense is better than UF's is all subjective. I think it isn't, and the flab finesse left coast team goes down.

Saying Arizona has a better defense than Florida is laughable. There is no question UCLA has height, and they are extremely athletic. Anderson is a match up nightmare, but there is something about this Florida team, and their defense is lights out. UCLA lacks a post presence, and I think that is where Florida exploits them. Florida has to limit the bruins 3s, and if they do, Florida cruises.

I don't think any UF fan is saying this is a gimme game. In fact I think this is probably the best Sweet 16 matchup. The winner will have what looks like an easier game to get to the Final 4 than the other teams. Winner plays either an 11 or 10 seed.

Arizona is the only team on that list who really plays a tough defensive brand of basketball. The rest are offense first teams. Ohio state just sucks
I will add that I think Michigan scores enough to beat Tennessee, but they won't if they play Louisville.

How is it laughable? Arizona gives up less PPG in a better conference and with a stronger SOS.
Also, Arizona has great post presence and both games were still close as UCLA did just fine without a dominant post game.

I think it is the best Sweet 16 game by far too. UCLA is a matchup nightmare due to pure athleticism and length. As said earlier, they don't have a post presence but they managed to dominate despite that. They can flat out score and UF hasn't played a team like that pretty mcuh all year, definitely not in the SEC

By dominate, who are you talking about? Tulsa and SFA? I know they had some solid wins in the Pac 12 Tourney, but they also got smashed by a terrible Washington State team 2 weeks ago. Florida has 6 wins against two very hot teams currently in the Sweet 16. UCLA reminds me of mizzou, though more talented obviously than the tigers. Mizzou has a tall point guard and some big time scorers. Also, Missouri did beat UCLA this year, it did happen way back in December, but just wanted to throw that out there

First that was a road game at Mizzou, a place they only lost twice all year (OT to UGA and by 5 to UK). Mizzou is hard to win at on the road even in a year like this and especially for a growing UCLA team early when Mizzou is undefeated
UCLA has been clicking since that Wazzou game and are significantly better now. I thought they were a middling team while watching Pac12 games until about mid to late January

Those Pac 12 wins are looking good as the conference has done very well.(Zona, UCLA, Stanford in 16, Oregon/Arizona State looked good despite losing. Only Colorado looked like they didn't belong as expected as UCLA and Zona spanked them
I mean UCLA dominates offensively which is true though. Outside that weird Wazzou game, they have scored 70 points or more in every game since February. They also included a 70+ point win over Zona, the only team to score over 70 on Zona all year.
Zona played teams like SDSU, Duke, Michigan, OOC and solid Pac 12 too and never did that
