Mark Few as coach of the year and Gonzaga in the Final Four? From a kid that owns a Derek Raivio jersey? Never would have guessed.
Let’s just say I don’t buy Arizona State as much as you. James Harden can certainly carry that team, though.
Mississippi State!
And dude, just marry B.J. Mullens already.

I went out on a limb with Arizona State and Gonzaga, but it gives me teams to root for. I think they both have the talent to make the Final Four, and I think after UNC and UConn a lot is up for grabs.
If Gonzaga made the Final Four Few would be coach of the year IMO, so that’s why I did that.
And for the record, if Mullens popped the question, I’d consider…..
