After the loss of Huggins and Kennedy and pretty much the entire line up, will they have a chance next year at making the NCAA tourney?

Nope. They better get used to the NIT.  They've been declining in the last few years even with Huggs.  Keep an eye on Kansas.  They'll make it next year.

I think they might get in as a 9 or a 10 seed if they beat (17) Florida.  If they don't win they could get in as and 11 or 12 seed

I think Marquette because they showed how good they are by beating Pittsburgh. They deserve a 8,9,or 10 seed. I think they will make it to the sweet 16 then lose.But it depends on where they are in the NCAA tournament. They are a good team that is why I think they will be a surprise team in this year's NCAA tournament.

If they keep this up, they do have a chance of making it to the playoffs, but not as deep as the 6th seed. Pachulia and Johnson have been having excellent starts, and Claxton should follow as well.\n\nJoe Johnson? He's certainly on my AllStar list this year, but in my list he should be in the top 15 or 20, since Atlanta has been doing fine and his 29 PPG looks great. \n\nAnyway, Im from Georgia, but dont think of this as bias or some sort. Im in the South part but I will watch a Hawks game sometime in December.

I think they will because they have a pretty good talent core with John Kitna, Kevin Jones, and their secondary.  They might even make a playoff run within the next few years, maybe have a breakout year and surprise people.

Huggins will be a help on the court and his national reputation will pay off in luring bigger name recruits to K-State.\n\nThe key will be providing Huggins help in maintaining the academic portion of the team's progress ... that was where his biggest failing at Cincinnati was, graduating only 30 percent of his players.

Based on just pure talent, the Tarheels gotta rank in the top 10 in the nation just on talent alone.  As far as March Madness is concerned, anything can happen but I would anticipate that UNC will make it to at least the regional final if not farther.  But it's tough to say since March is far away.

HELL NO. OK LET ME EXPLAINE THIS. The 2 best players for collage last year in my opinion were Andrew Bogut and H. Warrick (i spelled that wrong probably) They both got drafted and they are ranked below the top 100. If ne1 remembers in collage warrick did these unhuman dunks over the defense, and bogut was just amazing. When u enter the NBA your opponents are unbelievably tall and skilled. Ussing some of the NBA's best players the US team had a hard time getting third place. If the best collage players in the US are ranked below the top 100 then there are 100 other players that deserve it more (to play at the olympics) You have to realize that collage bball players expect that the other team has 1 to 5 good players, they never expect that the whole team is that good. Also most of the NBA teams have players ranked below them and they still have a hard time going against them. If you put them against an olympic team thats like going against  A team that has 15 players as good as shawn marion or Iverson or Billups or whoever you favorite player is. They never expect what is coming and are taken by suprise.  If u did not understand that read it again cause it took me a long time to type this and I know Im right (if im wrong then give me 1 player that was ranked top 35 as a rookie)

I have a bracket that is going to win, big time. The teams to look for are Syracuse, Boston College, Wis-Milwaukee and Pitt. These teams are destined to upset this year and are going to be big time bracket busters unless you pick the game going in their favor.\n\nWis-Milwaukee and Boston College are in the horrible Minneapolis bracket and should be surprises in the Tourney. Oklahoma always finds a way to choke in the tournament and don't think this year is going to be very different. Wis-Milwaukee is a highly underrated team going into the tournament and should come away with a first round victory.\n\nBoston College is also playing in that bracket. But, I expect bigger things from them. They are the most underranked team in the whole Tourney. They way they played against Duke shows me that they don't want to go out like that. I see BC winning the weak Minneapolis bracket beating the Hoyas by 4 pts.\n\nSyracuse and Pitt are both strong teams and should make it to the second round of their brackets. Gerry McNamara is taking his team on a magical journey that might finally meet its match when they face Duke in the Regionals.

NIL is my bet. Unless they strike a last minute alliance, which I doubt.\n\nWhat good ground they have lost, havent they.

I can understand the pressure you and your team are facing. I've been worried about my Syracuse Orange making it or not. I was able to find this info on ESPN.com.\n\nCalifornia [17-8 (11-5), RPI: 59, SOS: 93]\n\nTheir conference record looks good, but their RPI is iffy and strength of schedule isn't one to be proud of. They just lost to Washington which hurts their resumé, but if they can win the rest of the way, they can still make it.

I like Duke.  Even after the embarassment they suffered at the hands of UNC, they came back and won the ACC tournament, snatching the number one overall bid.  There toughest game before the final four is going to be Texas in the elite 8, if my bracket turns out right, which is a bit of a scare but I think they'll handle it.  Then I got them beating the Zags before facing Villanova in the championship, the one game on my bracket I truely am questioning right now.  I think Duke beats Nova by one.

They probably will, but if Syracuse avoids turnovers, hits their shots, and outrebounds UCONN, the 'Cuse have a legit shot 'cause WE have the puppies at the DOME.\n\nIt's a big game, and us here in the 'Cuse that BLEED ORANGE won't sit down until the Orange land a FG after the beginning of each half. That's a tradition that's been going on forever.\n\nGO ORANGE!!!\n\nAfter watching the game that was shown in front of a national audience, I have to say, Syracuse didn't play badly, UCONN just played like they could throttle anyone(even Duke). At least the Orange made a comeback, but I wonder if the fact that Calhoun left the bench after feeling lightheaded had anything to do with it.\n\nDo not think badly of the Orange basketball team after watching the game, just think how incredible UCONN is this year, because SU is certainly dangerous when McNamara gets going. Who knows? Maybe we'll show a little payback by defeating UCONN on their home court.\n\nGO CUSE!!!

Ohio State, they have the best high school senior named greg oden playing for them next year, plus they have most of the pieces from this year's team returning.  Even though they didn't fare well in the tournament, they will be more experienced and should go far

the new recruiting class at North Dakota looks very very good.  Not to mention taeves will be back along with his little brother who is supposedly better but has off ice issues.  When you look at Minnesota on paper they should be damn good, however, they should have been last year but just had way to many individuals playing a team sport and i think you will see that again this yr.  If North Dakota can get that young defense to play like they have in yrs past then the sioux are the team to beat.

Its good to lose before going into the ncaa tournament. That way you aren't too relaxed and cocky and get caught sleeping. Now they have the hunger and desire to win again so yes they should be in the top 5. No more pressure on Reddick to break records so watch out for Duke! I hate Duke by the way......Go Illinois!!!!!!!!!!
