Lets start off by discussing the tar heels play so far this season. The tar heels started off the season as a top ten team in the polls. They are the defending national champions. Don't get me wrong they have lost to some good teams such as Syracuse, Texas, and Kentucky. But lately the tar heels cant seem to get it together. They have lost eight games overall, dropped out the top 25, have lost four out of there last five games and are 2-4 in conference play. This does not look like the powerhouse North Carolina teams we have seen in the past.
Also a number one seed last year in the tournament and ranked fourteenth in preseason the Connecticut Huskies have fallen behind. The huskies have lost nine games and dropped to three and six in the Big East. Is it because there head coach is on medical leave? The huskies did get a big win over Texas who was ranked number one win Connecticut beat them, but the huskies are still struggling. If the huskies want to make the NCAA Tournament(National Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament) they better pick it up.
Last but not least the number one overall seed in the big dance last year the Louisville Cardinals. The Cardinals have had very close call games this season. Even some controversial calls at the end of close games that didn't really go the Cardinals way. They were the "Beast of the East" last year according to fans. What has happened? The cards have also lost eight games already this season and are five and four in the conference. Not really looking like much of a "Beast" anymore. The cards did pick up a must win need over another big east struggling opponent the Connecticut Huskies on Monday. The cards really are not looking as good as they should.
Three number one seeds in the tournament last year. Now are unranked in the polls and on the bubble of missing the big dance. Its crazy how much can change in a little less than a year. But maybe these teams will some how miraculously find a way into the big dance.
