Well, MY team took it all last year. Not holding out hope for that this year. The old saying, "Tarheel born, Taheel bred. When i die, I'll be Tarheel dead," rings so true for me!!!
I don't know who is going to go all the way this year, but I can't WAIT to see some games. Duke played tonight, but who wants to watch them???

DUKE
All-Americans... check
Senior Leadership... check
Depth...check
Shooters...check
Best recruiting class in the nation...check
Legendary coach...check
Rowdiest fans in the country...check
Am I a Duke fan? yeah i am. But on paper they look like the runaway favorite... If you take into account who they lost and who they got via recruiting, anybody HAS to put them as their preseason number 1.
Lost: G-Daniel Ewing, F-Shavlik Randolph
Gained: F-Jamal Boykin, G-Martynas Pocius ,McDonald's HS All-Americans PG-Greg Paulus, PF Josh McRoberts and C-Eric Boateng
It's basically last years team who could hang with eventual champ UNC in every game they played against one another, but improved. Not only do they got very skilled freshman coming in, but they also plug holes in their rotation. They are a very complete team that can afford playing tough defense and picking up fouls because of their ridiculous depth. Any team that has JJ Redick or Shelden Williams will compete for a national title. This is their year, and perhaps Krzyzewski's last real attempt at a national title. So yeah, they should pull through.
Sorry haters...
