Besides Scott Drew (head coach at Baylor), this group is a who's who of college basketball coaches (Coach K is in a league of his own).

I like Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio State, and Florida.
Why?
- Kentucky - can play any type of game - they'll grind it out or run you out of the gym
- North Carolina - without Marshall, they're vulnerable, but Harrison Barnes will step up, for once
- Ohio State - with no Fab Melo, Syracuse doesn't really have anyone to match-up with Sullinger
- Florida - the Cardinals lack the offensive punch that Florida has and will need to win the TO battle
