The calendar has already turned to September month, and we are having an N.C.A.A. basketball tournament heading towards us. Previously this tournament was supposed to be at the end of February month but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was postponed for an undeclared time. 

As of now, the unlock process has begun, and we will be ready to witness one of the best basketball tournaments. Hence, in this article, we will give a glance look at the three teams which according to stats will be toppers this season. So let's start with this article.

1) Xavier Musketeers:-

Mark this team blindly as table toppers for sure. Xavier Musketeers may have lost to Marquette in the Big East Tournament this season. But after this loss, they got all aware and went to win three matches out of the 4. So they have great momentum concerning winning the games. 

In these 3 wins, one includes against Seton Hall, where they not just dominated opponents but also where the driver of this game. The duo of Naji Marshall and Tyrigue Jones gave a solid rock formation for Xavier Musketeers. Major damage to any opponent has been done with triplet efforts from Naji Marshall, Tyrigue Jones & Junior Paul.

Xavier will be pretty happy with the new tread they had in the form of KyKy Tandy. Kyky averages approximately 9.5 to 9.6 per match. With such good players in the team, Xavier Musketeers will be pretty sure they will be on the top side of the table. Therefore, picking them as a favorite or putting a bet on Xavier Musketeers will be a golden bet for you because of the stats available with them.

2) Memphis Tigers:-

After reading this name, you will be saying how they can be in the top 3 teams by looking at their recent stats. But stats are not the fact every time. They may have lost their last few matches but what's important is they have lost it with very minimal difference say 5 points, 6 points. You can't deny the fact that Memphis Tigers are one of the threatening teams this season on paper. 

They have a lot more quality players. Every team from the N.C.A.A. The tournament will be aware of the fact that Tigers are a very dangerous side. With all their 10 players averaging in double digits, it's pretty sure that Memphis Tigers will be the topper. The triplet Precious Achiuwa, D.J. Jeffries, and Lester Quinones have done serious damage to their opponents every time. So, it is expected that they will repeat the same. So looking at players’ stats, and team performance it would be a good option to pick them as a favorite.

3) Gonzaga:- 

They may be the underdog this season. But considering the quality of players, they are having, the fabulous stats their players have & the recent performance of all the team it won't be a surprise pick to have them on the upper side of the table. But a former player from Gonzaga named Johnathan Williams is going to Turkey to pursue his professional career, so it may be a setback for them at some point. 

Though there won't be any pretty tough outings for Gonzaga as the duo of Ryan Woolridge and Admon Gilder is vanishing all opponents buy their game. The return of Joel Ayayi has made their backcourt more stable. He is their support/ backbone in any of the matches. Thus, the return of him will make the team more forbidden and strong. Gonzaga has one of the best rotation policies this season. While comparing with other teams it's a plus point for Gonzaga that all players are in-game touch.

Hence, there will be a total of 16 teams trying their luck and will play against each other. So, it would be a pretty competitive tournament by looking at all teams. Because every team here is a strong contender for winning the tournament. It's quite a critical task to pick the top 3 contenders as we all know nothing is predictable in any game.

Final words

No matter which team you pick or support, basketball is always a treat to watch. The unpredictability of the game is something that makes it interesting, so even if your picks didn’t perform you will enjoy the game with the same energy levels and would probably go for another bet with the same excitement.
