West Region Preview

It was great to see NCAA Tournament basketball back last night, and boy was it fun. Both teams in this region that played last night were in close, exciting games, both being decided by just one point. If that's a sign of even half of what's to come this weekend, then we are in for a thrilling tournament. Anyways, here is my preview of the West region. The favorite heading into March, Gonzaga, headlines the region and they'll be looking to stay perfect, being the first team to do so since Indiana in 1975-76. There's also some other really good teams in this one, and some matchups I'm really excited about, so let's dive in.

They've likely seen that Florida isn't living up to expectation and Kentucky lost to Evansville, but I wanted to look at some starts that have flown under the radar, both good and bad, and see whether they are sustainable in the long term, especially as many of these teams will face big tests coming up.

I'll get to Nate Oats later, but Jerry Stackhouse at Vanderbilt and Buzz Williams at Texas A&M look like they are in the midst of big rebuilds, Fred Hoiberg at Nebraska is off to a disaster start, and guys like Kyle Smith, Mike Anderson, a...

Predictions for the Remaining Transfers

As we move into June, many of the rosters in college basketball have really begun to take shape. There are very few impact recruits left, and the deadline for withdrawing from the NBA Draft has passed, so rosters are really shaping up. However, there are a few impact transfers still available, both sit out guys and graduate transfers, so I decided to break down where they might land. Be sure to follow me on Twitter @ThreePointRange, and let me know what you think of these destinations, and what schools you think these players should go to. Sit Out Players Devonaire Doutrive, SG, Arizona A top 75 player coming out of high school last year, Doutrive struggled to find playing time with the Wildcats in year one and elected to transfer out of the program in search of greener pastures. Despite underwhelming during his time in Tuscon, there should be a long line of schools interested in bringing him into the program. He could return home to Texas and play for Houston, who need guard he...
