I agree that anything could happen (example: Northern Iowa beating favorite Kansas a couple years back). That being said, Kentucky has got to be the favorite to cut down the nets this year with Syracuse not too far behind them. But I wouldn't be surprised if any of those teams you listed won it or even some others teams. You're right, the madness will be great.
I don't think Syracuse winning close games is a negative thing. They'll play close games in the tourney and it won't be foreign to them. They're rising to the occasion each time. Just about every other team besides Kentucky has faltered more than once this season. 'Cuse dominated at times last night but Uconn made a run and instead of Syracuse falling apart on the road and folding...they regrouped and found a way to win a close game again. I think that will serve them well in March. At least I sure as hell hope so. Time will tell.
