Last year was a great season but Creighton actually finished second in the Valley to Wichita State.
Last year was a great season but Creighton actually finished second in the Valley to Wichita State.
Last year was a pretty good start to the Stan Haith era at Mizzou – even if it ended with a thud due to a first round exit against Norfolk State.
Last year’s North Carolina team was typically good sending 4 players to the NBA. In typical Roy Williams fashion they led the conference in scoring on the way to a stellar 14-2 conference record.
With the PAC 12 Conference down overall on the hardwood many are expecting the Arizona Wildcats to rise again in the desert.
This is Syracuse’s swansong in the in the Big East Conference before joining the ACC (booh). That is a lot of history on the way out which is kind of what happened to the Orange at the end of last season too.
The 2012 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament gets underway this Tuesday and Wednesday with the First Four play-in round in advance of Thursday and Friday’s second-round 32-game slate.

College Hoops: Wednesday Night Preview
There is only one ranked matchup on the college basketball betting schedule on Wednesday night, but No. 8 Syracuse at No. 13 Georgetown isn’t the only game worth a look as two of the three remaining undefeated schools will also be in action.
Western Carolina is the only team in the country that is averaging more than North Carolina’s 95.8 points per game. Thus far the Heels have outscored their opponents by an average margin of almost 27 points a game, and it’s been done for the most part with the team not at full strength.
One of the big positives about Louisville is its ability to get the ball around the floor. The Cardinals are averaging 18.6 assists per game, which currently ranks them eighth in the country among “board teams.” Naturally when you do that you’re going to get yourself in position for a high percentage of good shots, right? Well, almost.
Gonzaga doesn’t know what hit them. Certainly it wasn’t the biggest shocker in the world that they lost in Seattle to the U-Conn Huskies, who are loaded. Following that game, however, they lost to Portland State, shooting just 43%. With the loss on December 14 at Arizona, that means the ‘Zags have lost three of their last four games.
Michigan finds itself building a winner quicker than many thought possible under coach John Beilein, who like Rich Rodriguez came to Ann Arbor from West Virginia and sought to remake the program. Wisconsin will try to upset the applecart with the fundamental style of play it exhibits under Bo Ryan.
Illinois is undergoing a revitalization of its program under Bruce Weber this year, and it’s no wonder, with much-improved guard play. The Illini has tallied almost 20 assists per game, and the ball movement which has been so successful in Weber’s motion offense has resulted in 49% shooting accuracy.
