I say this as a fan of my basketball. I'd be highly suprised if Duke don't win it all this year

Duke has so much potential this year, they are absolutely loaded! Another team that scares me is the Vols, they are either going to be unbeatable or not good, there won't be much in between for them. Gonzaga will also have a chance with all the experience they have.

Im quite surprised seeing Tennessee and NEVADA at 6 and 7?

NEVADA ahead of North Carolina?!

That's pretty unusual! Tennessee just returns so much experience it's hard to overlook them. They have a ton of talent, but probably not as much as these other top ten teams. The thing that makes them good is experience, hard work, and playing together. And they play defense.

A lot of people will be very surprised to see Nevada at 7, but I'm not really. Before the rankings came out, I figured they would be anywhere between 6-14. They are loaded this year.

Can't wait for another season to begin!!!
