With no NBA season in sight, what I'de like to see is a battle of college Alum who play in the NBA. I think SU would be well represented..but Man!! Kentucky and Memphis..

My final Four:

SU (Flynn, Melo, Hak, Green and Wes) vs UConn (Rudy, Ray, Ben, Kemba and whoever)
Kentucky (pick'em) vs Memphis (pick'em)
 
Having to play four small forwards would be tough for Syracuse. We would have to make great use of our shooting and speed, because the boards would be really tough.
 
I think we would have enough scoring to think about making Donte a 6th man and starting Etan at Center.
 
I think UCLA would make a big run
Kevin Love
Russell Westbrook
Darren Collison
Aaron Afflalo
Jrue Holiday
Matt Barnes
Jordan Farmar
Trevor Ariza
Baron Davis
 
5 years ago I'd say UConn with Gordon, Okafor, Gay, Armstrong, Boone, Williams, Hamilton, Villanueva all at or near their peaks. Some of those guys are a couple years past due IMO

Yeah... you're right. That's a pretty impressive list.

But its all guard and Love! They would have issues like a lot of scholls line-ups unballanced.

We'd be playing 3 SF's Etan and Jonny.
