Arizona
Arkansas

Delaware
Gonzaga
Indiana
Iowa
Iowa State
Kansas
Kentucky
Longwood
LSU
Miami Florida
Michigan
Montana State
North Carolina
Notre Dame

Arizona, Baylor, and Tennessee are probably the only 3 that have a decent shot. Even then, I'd say Baylor is the only one likely to compete for the honor, but I ultimately see the women's team bowing out before the Championship game.

It's interesting that none of the women's #1 seeds got their men's team in

Arizona wbb could overachieve their way back into the title game again.
Arizona mbb is considered by a few to be the best overall team in men’s college basketball.
So I would put Arizona as the likeliest school. As always, the odds remain low for any given year that it happens (again).

Baylor surely has the highest combined M/W seed: 1/2. But I don't think anyone will be joining the team from the former "Basketball Capital of the World." |

Baylor has a realistic chance, considering that realistic in this context is still remote and highly unlikely. But if it were to happen, I don't believe that in retrospect it would be considered excessively shocking.
I don't think the AZ women's team is realistic, although their men's team certainly is. And I don't expect either Tennessee M or W to be there. My dark horse would be Kentucky - unlikely to win either, but certainly capable of winning both.

I was thinking the same thing re: Kentucky, though the men's team isn't looking good so far.

Welllllllllllll......
2 seed Kentucky just lost to 15 seed St Peter's, so you can cross them off the list.
Along with UConn and Indiana and Iowa.

I think the state of New Jersey may actually hold title to the state of Kentucky now. I don't make the rules.
