Does anyone think that UConn will be good next year without Boone and Gay and possibly Williams?

Yes, they will always be good because they've won 2 championships and Calhoun is still in the hizzouse.  They will have less distractions also without laptop boy Williams.

No, he cant help it that his team is not a veteran group. The core of the team is sophomores (Morris, Crawford, Rondo). Patrick Sparks doesnt offer enough senior leadership for this team to do well. Kentucky will be really good next year though, and in two years they will be serious contenders to win the championship.

Yes. They are returning all of their starters, and have added to their secondary in free agency and the draft. They've got Grossman back and healthy for the season (cross your fingers), and now have Griese as a suitable backup. At the receiver spot, Bradley was starting to come on last year before he got hurt, and Berrian hsowed some potential towards the end of the season, and obviously they have Muhammed in the #1 spot. As far as the tight end situation, they don't have a stand-out player at the position, but Desmond Clark is at least serviceable, and Ron Turner's offenses typically dont rely heavily on tight ends. The problem that I do see is what most see as the strong suit- running back. I've got a bad feeling they're going to end up going with a RB-by-committee situation, which I think is a bad idea. Platoon situations don't give either back a chance to get into a real rhythm. Jones is already not happy with the situation, and I'm sure Benson won't be after long. I think they do have a chance to go to the bowl this year, but I think they may be one more year away.

Not great, but just ok.  If you consider loses to FSU, Louisville, and GA Tech a good year.  They Will have a problem on the offensive side of the ball much like the last 3 years, but the defense will save their hides again.  If you ask me the offense is stacked top to bottom with talent.  So if Kyle Wright can produce, then you have to bring in Kirby Freeman.  ( and by the way I don't even like Miami, I just calls it like I see it)

Villanova or UConn...\nDefinately not Kansas, wouldn't surprise me if they lost in the first round to Bradley. Also, the Duke Blue Devils are way overrated. J.J. Redick isn't clutch, I don't care what anyone else says. There team isn't as deep as either Nova or UConn. I wouldn't be surprised to see Memphis be in the championship game!

The Jazz won’t be able to draft Karl Malone or John Stockton, but a player who is similar to either wouldn’t be a bad idea. Utah could use a guard who could play alongside Deron Williams, and get the ball to Carlos Boozer and Andrei Kirilenko.Now mr jones i am telling you right now nobody else will say this but maurice ager because he is a great ballhandeler and he can bring exicitment to the team and me having the dirc TV basketball package i would watch all other teams play exept utah they would start a game off miss the first 7 shots and then get two strait 24 seconds violations and ager can dunk like a vince carter but he doesent have a jumper like vince carter so iff he can devolop a J he can be a steal in this draft

I predicted for them to cream Wichita, but I'm like Peter--I took my eyes off and thought they were going to lose to UCONN. However, they are like my fav. underdog ever so I was voting for them while they played, even though I didn't pick them in my brakets. So I was happy they won!\nGO GMU!\n\nI thought for sure they were going to lose when Lewis bonked his two free throws, but thank goodness what's his nose missed that trey ball.\n\nGMU is riding emotion now and I think they will make it to the champtionship...

I personally think that the Duke Blue Devils are overrated. Along with J.J. Redick, he is a heck of a shooter I agree, but isn't as clutch as everyone thinks. I wouldnt be surprised to see them fall in the Sweet 16 or Elite 8. \n\nI got Nova winning it all!

it would have to be ......... MARCUS WILLIAMS from the UConn huskies. he's an NBA ready point guard that can manage that young, high octane offense. this will make up from not takin' CP3(Chris Paul) last year.

One word answer,NO.\n The blame is always on the coach but some of the players do not have heart.\n Next year should be his make or break year.

I think the Celtics are likely to have a repeat of last year, with a resulting record that's significantly below 500. They're if they turn out this way, I think it would likely benefit them in the draft, as long as Danny Ainge doesn't go and make some ridiculous picks and trades again. \nNext years draft is supposed to be very strong, and yes, Oden is likely to top the list of prospects, but the top 10 picks are said to be some of the strongest in the past couple years, so even if the C's don't get Oden, they could get Durant, Wright, Noah, Thabeet, Budinger (my personal fave), etc. \nI think the C's shouldn't go 0 and 82, obviously, but I think if they don't have the best record in the league, it wouldn't be horrible next year.

They will be awesome. With Hinrich, Gordon, and Duhon in the back court and Chandler and hopefully Tyrus Thomas in the front court with Deng or Gordon coming off the bench they will surprise a lot of people. They already play in the toughest division which all 5 teams made the playoffs last year proving they can compete with the best.

I don't really know the Bobcats too well but I think that Rudy Gay is gonna go at 3.  People think he has so much potential and I think it would be a good place for him to develop.

I love Chapel Hill, and I LOVE UNC basketball, especially Roy Williams. They were supposed to be a total joke this season, but Roy and the guys had other ideas! Go Heels!

Yes, Villanova has a very good chance to go all the way. They are a very powerful team. And the best #1 seed in the tournament. They may have trouble against UConn(if they meet). But I think Villanova can go all the way.

I hate to say this, but they will have a horrid season compared to expectations.  The projected starting QB is embroiled in this sexual assault case which hasn't been in the news recently so I don't know if that's good or bad for Sanchez.  Booty is hurt and I believe it's a back injury which is NEVER good.  Of their returning RB's only one has game experience and he got injured and is gone for the year!  They do have the WR Jarrett returning if they can get someone to throw him the ball!  Imagine a true freshman QB?!?!  The OLine lost just at least 3/5th of the group and the defense that didn't look that solid last year will be filled in by underclassmen who couldn't dethrone the mediocre seniors who just left.\nAND if that's not enough, the NCAA is expanding their investigation initiated by the Reggie Bush "House-gate" scandal.  Perhaps no sanctions yet, but more than a few parents will be unwilling to send their kids to any program with question marks.\n\nGranted the Pac-10 looks to be a bit weaker, I think they can win it, unless Sam Keller plays out of his mind at ASU...

ABSOLUTELY!!!  Look at what they did this year with almost all freshman.  These guys are only getting better!  And, have you seen some of the players coming in... SICK!  Winner of the McDonalds All American Slam Dunk Champion for one (last time we got that one it was Vince Carter)
