er-of-the-year candidate. Unfortunately, they have nobody else. Purdue always does poorly in the NCAA Tournament, and Coach Gene Keady's head may explode if he gets any madder. His antics hide the fact that he is a bad coach.
The Big Ten also will produce the most surprising team of the year. The Ohio State Buckeyes will rebound from a sub-par season. This year's team has more experience to surround senior Lawrence Funderburke, who should have a monster season. Coach Randy Ayers has set a fire under his players and will guide his team to a Sweet 16 surprise. John Silva Olathe junior
Without 5-second rule ball-handling teams win
Although none of them may be ranked No. 1 when the NCAA Tournament begins, one of these four teams will win it all: UCLA, California, Minnesota or Michigan. It's not the deciding factor, but with the abolishment of the 5-second closely guarded rule, teams with good ball handling, slashing and scoring guards whom they can isolate and feature will excel. All these teams have these guards and great supporting casts.
UCLA has Shon Tarver and Tyus Edney, and the O'Bannon brothers at forward give them a hellified team. They will be running and gunning, rolling through the tourney. Minnesota has megathreat Vashon Leonard and everyone from last year's National Invitational Tournament championship队. Cal has the best guard in the nation, Jason Kidd, and an awesome scorer and rebounder in forward Lamond Murray.

Without Chris Webber, Michigan still has a tremendous team with buckets of tournament experience. If I have to pick one, I'll take UCLA to bring a banner back to Pauley Pavilion. Overrated teams: Kentucky. Without Mashburn, the Wildrats won't go anywhere; Pitino, you should have taken the 'Hawks' money. Kansas, too, is overrated, along with all Big Eight basketball. They say Big Eight teams are so good because they have such good non-conference records. But those nonconference games are against mediocre opponents. (Washburn, Furman, etc. — Are you kidding me?) We'll see what happens when Temple comes to town. Surprise team: Georgetown. If anyone on the team develops an outside shot, look out for the Hoyas. Othella is baaaad! Most improved team: Miami Hurricanes (who, by the way, have the best college football team, but the wrong quarterback playing when they met Florida State). Stevie Edwards and Popa, along with a batch of talented freshmen, might take Miami to the NIT Championship. Overall, it's gonna' be an awesome season, baby.

North Carolian, Indiana have needed experience
As much as I would like to say it is Kansas, the best team in the nation is the North Carolina Tar Heels. Not only do they have all their starters coming back but one, they have two of the best freshmen in the country, Jerry Stackhouse and Rasheed Wallace. The Tar Heels have the experience and confidence to weather the early tests and gain momentum going into their conference season. Look for the Tar Heels to repeat as champions.

Ten. In case you have not noticed, Chris Weber has left for the NBA. The Fab Five is history. Michigan could not win the Big Ten with the Fab Five, I don't know what makes people think Michigan will win without the Fab Five.
Indiana has the returning talent, not to mention a gifted group of freshmen, to ensure another productive season. They have three starters returning, and Brian Evans could emerge as a key player this year. Remember Damon Bailey. This is the year Bailey will live up to expectations. One last thing, the coach of the Hoosiers is Bob Knight. Enough said. Travis Pohlmeier

Temple will be champs; Georgetown is overrated
Get out your road maps because the road to the national championship leads to Philadelphia, home of the Temple Owls. Eddie Jones and Aaron McKie will provide senior leadership while pumping in basket after basket to lead the Owls on another successful run in the tournament. Behind the coaching of John Chaney, they will only improve on the effort they displayed in their close loss to Michigan in the Final Eight last year. Give a hoot, this is definitely the year of the Owl.
It gives me great pleasure to say the most overrated team again will be the Georgetown Hoyas! They have not made a jump shot since Reggie Williams graduated, and John Thompson's insistence on playing the Morgan States will keep his team from winning in the tournament. One more team? UCLA sucks.
The surprise of the year will be the Idaho Vandals. Led by Orlando Lightfoot, the pride of Moscow, Idaho, the Big Sky
champs could make some noise early in the tournament. Finally, I guarantee that the Arizona Wildcats will somehow find a way to win a game in the postseason.

Like it or not Jayhawks, Tar Heels will win it all
As much as fans around here may hate to admit it, it would be surprising if anyone stops North Carolina from winning its second-consecutive national championship. The Tar Heels lost only one starter from last year's team, forward George Lynch, and those returning include Eric Montross — far and away the best center in college basketball. Besides Montross, the Tar Heels have one of the best guard tandems in the country with Derrick Phelps and Donald Williams. To make matters worse, North Carolina's incoming class of freshmen is one of the two best in the nation, with the other belonging to Kansas. It features national high school player of the year Rasheed Wallace, versatile forward Jerry Stackhouse and sharp-shooting guard Jeff McInnis. Coach Dean Smith should win his third national championship with this incredible combination of talent and experience.
