Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 3692018, member: 6485"] SC and UConn are the top 2 teams if you ask me. I don't discount the experience South Carolina lost but their talent and depth are clear. UConn has some talented pieces coming back plus new additions that will likely make them deeper and more versatile. Bueckers and Westbrook should be impact players from almost day one. UConn last season had the talent but couldn't get their core four to have significant games against the top opponents on the same night. If that happens this year then the Huskies won't lose many games if any. Baylor, Oregon, Mississippi State all have talent but big question marks. I think Oregon will be very good but there will be an Ionescue hangover as the new players adjust. MSU has back a lot of talent but will be adapting to a new staff. McCray-Pinson will have some work to do to keep them at their current level. Stanford is never an easy out, ND will likely be better if only due to the experience of their players having suffered through the worst year in recent memory for the program. This is just some brief observations on what are among the top teams. I am still holding out hope we have a season to enjoy. [/QUOTE]
