 Duke

Too much talent. The return of Jefferson is huge and Tatum being out for a short period of time is big as well. |
| 2 |
Kansas

Oregon

Brooks might be player of the year and Boucher with Bell in the middle makes this team look poised for a championship run. |

Villanova

Losing Arci... Ryan and Ochefu hurts, but they'll still be really talented and in contention for a one seed most likely. |
| 5 |
North Carolina
|
Britt, Meeks and Hicks are still there?! Yea, they'll be good |

Kentucky
|
It's Kentucky |

Hayes returns and Koenig seems to be ready for a breakout season. |

I'm really high on the boilers. They have the size in the middle, great shooters and Edwards on the wing. |
