    Chapel Hill has always dealt with expectations. This could be more than even the Heels can handle. If his teammates stand around and watch Tyler Hansbrough again, they're in trouble.

    Aren't the Heels over the salary cap this year?

    I mean, they have Hansbrough, Lawson and Ellington all back...

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here: Missouri will be terrible.

    If Samardo Samuels is as good as advertised, Louisville is going to have the best front-court in America.

    I don't know if there's a team that could match up with Terrence Williams, Earl Clark and Samuels. The Cards may look a little odd early without the big white passing stiff (aka David Padgett) in the middle, but Samuels should allow them to get out and run the floor a little more than Padgett did. And with the athletes Louisville has (add in guards Edgar Sosa and Jerry Smith), it'll be tough to defend or score against.

    I'm also going to go out on a limb: people here will complain about lack of respect for the mid-majors

    The re-addition of Bobby Frasor is going to make a major difference for UNC. Kansas may still beat the Heels in the final four, but the first 10 minutes would not have gone like they did if ol' Roy had Frasor to bring off the bench instead of Quentin "I make bad decisions" Thomas.
    With Frasor back, it's all gravy until March. That's when Roy "If Dean didn't teach it, I don't know it" Williams will screw the pooch.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here: this is the only college sports thread that I can talk about Syracuse and not get laughed off the board.

    Yet, Phil Ford is no longer there to buy them all beer on his university-issued credit card.
