Name your top five teams to watch in the 2006 season, weather it's how good they will be or if you simply think the team is going to be fun to watch. Here are my five: <ul>Duke Bluedevils They have JJ Reddick, Sheldon Williams, Josh McRoberts, and Demarcus Nelson so they should be a force in the ACC this season. As much as I hate Duke I must say I am excited to see what this talent can do.[/list] <ul>Villanova Wildcats Local team that likes to fire the ball from three point range. With Allen Ray, Randy Foye, Curtis Sumpter, and Mike Nardi all coming back for another year they should be dancing in Villanova.[/list] <ul>North Carolina Tarheels No matter how bad they are going to be I am going to watch them because I am a fan. I am excited to see what the young guns can do and I hope we can make a run at the title at 2006.[/list] <ul>Michigan State Alan Anderson is the only real key player that they lost via draft, and they have Shannon Brown and Maurice Ager coming back and should be a top ten team this season.[/list] <ul>Memphis As much as I want to list Arkansas here, because I want to see if Ronnie Brewer can led that club. Memphis gets the vote. With the quickness of Darius Washington, and the dunking of Carney, Memphis should be the one of the most exciting teams to watch this season.[/list] Post your top five teams to watch next season!
Duke-Their loaded OK State-Jameson Curry UNC- Just like them Memphis-Darius Washington and Carney Uconn-Rudy Gay
North Carolina Tarheels- I follow them every season and this season should be an interesting year with all the young talent. I don't expect another title since we lost a lot of our main players last season but I think we could make a little run in the Big Dance. South Florida Bulls- This is my hometown team and I usually go to about five games every season. I know a few of the players on the team and I can always get good seats at the games. They aren't a great team but it is still fun to follow the team and attend the games. Florida Gators- Another hometown team I follow just because they are usually on T.V. and I enjoy watching them. My family is full of diehard Gators fans so I have grown up watching Florida football and basketball. Arizona Wildcats- I am looking forward to watching the Wildcats this season because I want to see how good they will be without Salim Stoudamire and Channing Frye. It should be interesting to see if Mustafa Shakur, Hassan Adams or someone else steps up and becomes the team's leaders. Michigan State Spartans- I have never been a huge Spartan fan but a lot of people are talking about Shannon Brown. I haven't seen much of Brown so I will be watching some of the Spartan's games just to see this kid play. I know I picked my teams a little differently then others but that is who I will be watching the most in 2006.
* Illinois Fighting Illini A lot of people are counting them out, because they lost Head and Williams. However, Dee is coming back, and that team is still built for the style of offense he plays which is a fast break style team. That is always exciting to watch. * Villanova Wildcats For the same reasons C.K stated. They have a good core coming back next season Sumpter and Allan Ray are two very talented players that I can not wait to see. I think both have the potential to be early second round to late first round picks. * St. Joes They really got snubbed from the tourney last season. Phil Martelli in my opinion is still one of the top five coaches in the college ranks, and will make the best out of the roster he has. This is another local team they lost Carroll, Bryant, and Jones so their front court and scoring options will be looking for some answers. * Michigan State I don?t want to risk not putting them here, and Voo Doo seeing it lol (just playing). With Shannon Brown and the rest of their roster still pretty much intact they will have a pretty good season. * Memphis Simply because of Darius Washington Jr. one of the top five guards in college right now in my mind. He is extremely talented, and will have a good season. He will make this team exciting alone.
