Memphis would have to be the favorite, too bad Calapari is horrendous game coach, the main part of his job is to send Sonny Vaccaro fat envelopes.

UCLA still sucks on the offensive end, I am antcipating them too be overrated ats next year.

Field was much much stronger last year. Gonzaga was the best team in the nation in November.

Look out for GT next year. They should be a surprise in the ACC next season.

ACC will be right in the toilet just like las year. Roy Williams showed what a pile of garbage he was when they played USC, Murray and the Patriots.

BTW Chris,

Ben Howland is a West Coast guy not an East coast guy like you and the media call him last year. Lets talk about the 12 years he was at UCSB and the 6 years he was at NAU instead of the 3 years he was at Pitt. Lets talk about that he was born and raised on the West coast and went to school at Weber and Gonzaga.

Interesting side bar on Taylor King, he got punked in California state highschool championships. He lost any chance to imoprove in college when he decided to go to Duke instead of UCLA.

Would be nice to have some others weigh in on this thread? But I guess not, shows that college hoop talk around here is basically a bunch of ingrates leaching picks. 5% of forum doing 99% of the work.
