Now that the 2022 NCAA men's tournament bracket is set, it's time to start digging into this year's top contenders for the national championship.

An underdog could always emerge from the field, and plenty of words will be dedicated to Cinderella picks and teams on upset alert in the days to come. But for now, we're focused on the 10 best teams in this year's tournament, based on the full 68-team seed list released by the selection committee following the bracket announcement.

Each team's strengths and weaknesses, current momentum based on recent performance and path through the bracket were taken into account before an ultimate determination of buy or sell was made on its chances of winning it all this year.

Let's dive right in.

Arizona Wildcats

Seed List Ranking: No. 2

The Arizona Wildcats roster is absolutely loaded.

Sophomore guard Bennedict Mathurin (17.4 PPG, 5.6 RPG) won Pac-12 Player of the Year. Junior center Christian Koloko (12.1 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 2.7 BPG) won Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. Sophomore forward Azuolas Tubelis (14.5 PPG, 6.4 RPG) joined them on the All-Conference first team. Sophomore guard Dalen Terry and Koloko were both named to the All-Defensive team. And as if all of that weren't enough, sophomore guard Pelle Larsson (7.1 PPG, 3.2 RPG) won the conference's Sixth Man of the Year award.

That group led the team to a 31-3 record that included six Quad 1 wins, capped off by an 84-76 victory over UCLA in the Pac-12 tournament title game.

On the offensive end, they lead the nation in assists (19.9 APG) and rank third in field-goal percentage (49.6), and thanks in large part to Koloko on the inside, they are also one of the best shot-blocking and rebounding teams in the nation.

They may not have gotten the No. 1 overall spot in the seed rankings, but this looks like the most complete team in the tournament and a serious threat to cut down the nets when all is said and done.
