My opinion of the team's from that article:
1. North Carolina- very solid team. One of the best offenses. Plays little defense, relies heavily on big men. Can easily win it all
2. Gonzaga- best overall team this year, regardless of what ESPN etc say. They can beat teams at any pace, inside, outside, and plays great defense due to their big men and pg. Should have the best odds to win it all
3. Kansas- really good shot, a bit guard heavy. Really great guards though.
4. Duke- I don't think they should be here. Too reliant on jumpshots, no defense, good defensive teams can control as long as they score
5. Arizona- good team but I don't think they are good enough an any area to win, but they could have a chance
6. Villanova- probably 2nd or 3rd best team right now. Not a big inside game and relies on 3pters. Defense can be good. Decent shot to repeat
7. Oregon- They were held to 16 pts in a half against Cal. Not sure they are consistent enough vs good teams to win it all
8. Louisville- I really like them. Good bigs and a good guard in Mitchell. They will go as far as long as their PG Snider steps up. They can defend but can go in scoring droughts
9. Kentucky- I know I hate them, but I think they will go a decent ways in the tourney. They are guard heavy which is a good thing for them, plus 1 really good big that can take them to the title
10. Purdue- Best bigs in the country. As long as their guards contribute a title could happen. Probably the team I least want to play in the tournament. Swanigan is a beast
