North Carolina – They look strong again this year with the return of key players Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, Danny Green, Marcus Vinyard, Alex Stephenson, and Deon Thompson
Georgetown - They lost Jeff Green to the NBA Draft, however Roy Hibbert returns, along with Patrick Ewing Jr, Jessie Sapp and a strong freshman class will keep them in the hunt all March.
Kansas - They may be the most talented team in America. They return stars like Brandon Rush, Russell Robsinson, Sasha Kaun, Sherron Collins, Darrell Arthur, and Mario Chalmers from a team that almost made it to the Final Four last year.
UCLA - They lose Aaron Afflalo to the NBA, however they gain big man Kevin Love this year, who should step in and contribute right away. Throw him in with a team that has Darren Collison, Luc-Richard Mbah a Moute, a healthy Josh Shipp and that is coached by Ben Howland and this team will make some noise in the upcoming basketball season.
