Purdue lives and dies by the 3 ball. If they aren't falling, Purdue is...

Sparty got out-Sparty'd by Duke.

Indiana isn't that good.

I hate to say it but TCUN might be the class of the conference and I don't think they're that good either.

I hate to say it but I think they are a Final Four team.

Right now the top-4 in Kenpom adjusted efficiency margin is UM (by 3 points), then Iowa State, Gonzaga and Duke. I am surprised Duke isn't higher. I would say right now UM, Duke and Iowa State are the top-3 in some order.

Coaching is everything in college hoops

Talent is more important than coaching. You could be the GOAT coach, but if you only get average players, you won't win the national championship. There aren't any teams that win the NCAA championship without 1st round NBA draft-level (or otherwise NBA-level) talent.
