Who Wins it All in 2023?
What say you?
A fraudulent intent, however carefully concealed at the outset, will generally, in the end, betray itself.

Patience, grasshopper.

Re: Who Wins it All in 2023?
Think the Hoos are the best team left and their Duke curse didn't seem to apply in the 2019 tourney so if they meet Dino and Co. in the final I think they can still get it done. Pretty much everyone on that team has been here before. That experience matters in May.
Re: Who Wins it All in 2023?
I took the easy way out and picked Duke. I think they have the easiest path to the finals and I cant make up my mind on the likely ND vs UVa game. I just hope my pick is wrong.
Re: Who Wins it All in 2023?
I go with Virginia too, not least because Duke has two more chances to lose before UVA would have to play them. I think it is wide open though. I would be very surprised if Penn St or Army won. Other than that, none would be shocking.

Picked Duke in February and going to stick with them. Really liked Hopkins all year too, they have embraced the grind
Re: Who Wins it All in 2023?
My heart says Hop, but my head (and vote) says UVA.

I agree. I’ll be rooting for the Blue Jays, but Virginia’s offense gives them a distinct advantage.
Still, I voted for the Blue Jays.

Of course, any of the remaining eight could pull a Tar Heels 2016 and take the cake. The Wolverines are on a hot streak, and it would be an astonishing feat to pull off in their first NCAA.

Like Doc, my heart says Jays but my head says Hoos. While I doubt Blue can pull it off, it would be nice for the sport if they could do it.

Re: Who Wins it All in 2023?
Well, technically Maize & Blue, the Wolverines. I really find it easy to root for the three remaining Big 10 teams. No doubt the ACC trio is strong, but also over-hyped by Kint and Quark making it easy to root against all three. Tevlin and Fake won the natty as Yale first-years, and I'll probably be grudgingly happy for those two (and moreso for Fake's family) if the Irish were to run the field; but go Jays, win in Maryland!

Not sure that's a fix, although I have no problem with your version.coda wrote: ↑Thu May 18, 2023 9:03 amfixed it for you.

Hopkins fans have discovered this thread and are intentionally messing up the poll.
Let’s be real folks, this thing is between Duke and Virginia. That’s it.
Choose your fighter.

Re: Who Wins it All in 2023?
I would not say ND is out of this running. Beating a top 5 team 3 times in a year is a big ask. You are correct with the Hopkins crew. Personally, I think they have the worst odds in the tournament to win.
Re: Who Wins it All in 2023?
ND just meekly lies down in front of UVA. It’s the darndest thing. No fight. And to get to Duke, they’ll need to get past their kryptonite. Obviously it can happen, I just don’t see it.
