My thoughts on teams, in no order

UConn will be a scary team come March - mark that down.  They may only have 2.5 guys capable of scoring, but they are as big as an NBA team and can play very good defense and rebound with any team in the country.

OSU - only caught the end of the UF game.  We know Sullinger will get his 20/12, and Buford is legit outside, who else can help down low w/ Sully?

UK - obviously 4-5 lottery picks on this team. VERY thin, however.  If one guy goes down, they have no chance.  If Jones, Lamb, Davis, or Teague get hurt, this isn't a top 10 team. Looked like they were playing AAU/pick up ball vs. KU... going 1 on 5 all night until they realized they are more athletic than KU and started looking inside. Shooting concerns run deep.

Duke - They'll score with the best of them. Dawkins, Curry, Rivers all gunners.  How will they play when someone hits them in the mouth? Will they be able to stop a guy like Sullinger or will they double him?  Key to beating Duke, IMO, is just getting pissed off and playing as physical as you can, although the refs won't allow that with them.  Bunch of pretty boys.  Skilled pretty boys, nonetheless. Wouldn't shock me to see them make a FF run.

UNC - obvious favorite for title. Similar to Duke, how will they react when a team hits them in the mouth? They're bigger than most NBA teams, how will they handle UConn's size and athleticism? I think Calhoun, sans Kemba Walker this year, might sometimes favor a slow-it-down game, how would UNC handle that?

UF - great guards, one legit big guy. live and die by the 3.

Pitt - What's up with Khem Birch? he's played like 20 seconds.  I thought he would have at least some impact.  They'll be around in March.
