In the 2/3 Category the teams that make me a bit uneasy are Wisconsin, Iowa, and Iowa St. They all seem well coached and score the ball fairly well. Of course both Wisconsin and Iowa St. are both in a bit of a slide right now, but I think they will both be dangerous in a one and done format.

In the 4/5 Category the only teams that concern me are Oklahoma St. and Michigan. Both of these teams have multiple players that could go off on any given night. They each also have a very good three point shooter in Phil Forte(53-106) for Okie St. and Nik Stauskas(44-100).

In the 8/9 Category its UCLA and Memphis that worry me. This is another pair of high scoring teams that get it done as teams. Memphis has eight guys that are currently scoring five points a game. As for UCLA they are about as balanced as it gets. Four guys average more than ten a game and they have 8 guys who play at least 20 minutes a game. The main thing that scares me is Kyle Anderson, he is a point guard masquerading as a power forward. He is the size of Rak and is a fantastic passer. He is one of the few players in the nation that I believe has the ability and poise to hurt us from the high post. He also grabs almost nine boards a game which is not to shabby. In the end I expect UCLA to move up towards the 5 or 6 line when its all said and done.

Of course there is tons of basketball left to play, but based of the teams you've provided these are the one who scare me the most(if they were seeded in their category). I also believe if we play or game and execute our game plan not a single one of these teams beats us when we are playing well.
