1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Its the Zags.
2 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA Shocker team in the NCAA tourney last year, great coaching staff
3 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas I have faith in Beard, recruiting was okay, but it could've been better in my eyes, but this and momentum will help them out most
4 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Momentum from last season, good recruiting season.
5 University of Kansas Logo Kansas It's Kansas, Remy Martin will be a cornerstone of the court
6 Villanova University Logo Villanova Trey Patterson will incorporate well with the offense. Good look ahead in my opinion
7 Purdue University Logo Purdue Matt Norlander put it best on CBS, but I think that they more a 7/6 rather than a 2/3 like he suggests

11 University of Memphis Logo Memphis Great coach, staff, and recruitment class. They'll be a force to be reckoned with.
12 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois Honestly hard to say, They did great last year, lack of to 50 recruits makes it not a guarantee, but I see promise
13 University of Alabama Logo Alabama Great coach, good last season momentum, good recruiting class even without big losses to the pros
14 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas I could go on forever, but I think that there may be some kinks to work out with the transfers into the offense, but the whole team is great
