Every year people say watch out for this team or that team but in the end its usually the same teams year after year. The level of play falls off a cliff outside the top 20. Then there is a big difference from 10-20.
And as far as Spallina, guy is impossible to root for. Cocky, overly physical, coaches to bend rules or take liberties, BUT guy gets more with less than any other coach in the country. If he was at Florida or ND during their strong years he would have won a couple of Naty's, those coaches couldnt coach up great teams when they needed coaching in the tournament
I do not completely agree. In recent years there has only been one team that has been there in the end (Final Four) every year and that would be The Maryland Terrapins. 20 Teams have finished the season ranked in the Top 10 over the past five seasons 2015 - 2019. Nine different teams have made it to the Final Four and three different teams have won The National Championship.
Maryland - 5X Top 10 Finish, 5X Final Four, 3X National Championship. UNC - 5X Top 10 Finish, 4X Final Four, 1X National Championship.
BC - 4X Top 10 Finish, 3X Final Four. Syracuse - 4X Top 10 Finish, 2X Final Four. Princeton - 4X Top 10 Finish.
Penn State - 3X Top 10 Finish, 2X Final Four. Stony Brook - 3X Top 10 Finish. Florida - 3X Top 10 Finish.
Navy - 2X Top 10 Finish, 1X Final Four. Northwestern - 2X Top 10 Finish, 1X Final Four. Loyola - 2X Top 10 Finish. USC - 2X Top 10 Finish. Virginia - 2X Top 10 Finish Notre Dame - 2X Top 10 Finish
