Jason King: Ten Leaps of Faith

Link

1. Ohio State will regroup. There is too much talent and leadership among this group to write the Buckeyes off.
2. North Carolina will beat Duke and win the ACC title. If Miami and Florida State can win in Durham, the Tar Heels can, too.
3. Thomas Robinson will edge Anthony Davis for the Wooden Award. And rightfully so.
4. At least two schools from non-Big Six conferences will make the Elite Eight, and one of them will be Wichita State.
5. At least one No. 14 seed will win its first-round game. As of Tuesday, Joe Lunardi had the matchups as Baylor versus Nevada, Georgetown versus Belmont, Michigan versus Akron and Marquette versus Middle Tennessee State. Out of those matchups, Georgetown-Belmont catches my eye. The Hoyas have been bad in the NCAA tournament lately and, don't forget, the Bruins almost upset Duke in Durham at the beginning of the season.
6. The winner of Saturday's West Virginia-South Florida game will receive an NCAA tournament berth. The loser will not.
7. Butler will win the Horizon League tournament and be back in the Big Dance.
8. Syracuse will not make the Final Four.
9. Kentucky will not win the national championship.
10. North Carolina will.

Go You Tar Heels!
