MIM's FAITH-BASED 2007-08 Preview (234 clicks)
If, if, if, IF!!!!! (a) Afflalo returns (in my opinion, 50-50 at this point), (b) Collison returns (75% likely, unless he gets REALLY bad advice), and (c) Shipp comes back (80%, because he was shaky much of the year, but shined a bit in both the Pac-10 and NCAA Tourneys, despite our premature exits)...

AA Leaning Towards Returning? (249 clicks)
Some interesting tidbits from John Wilner's blog, College Hotline - at San Jose Mercury News. If you remember Wilner was Dohn's predecessor at the Daily News, before heading up to Northern California. He has some pretty good contacts within the UCLA athletic department. So this tidbit on AA was interesting:

Draft winners and losers from the NCAA Tournament [ESPN Insider only] (256 clicks)
Arron Afflalo, UCLA -
Afflalo was red-hot against Kansas, pushing UCLA to the Final Four. But his other tourney games were much more spotty. In particular, foul trouble and the long arms of Corey Brewer shut him down in the Florida game.
His lack of size, length and athleticism will be a problem at the next level.
He's tough and an excellent midrange shooter, but his weaknesses will probably keep him from being drafted in the first round.

Two national championships have been decided at the Alamodome, as Kentucky claimed the 1998 title, and Connecticut cut down the nets there in 2004. Here's a very early look at a potential Sweet 16 that would produce the Final Four headed to San Antonio next year. There's also a group of other strong teams that could surprise.

MEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP: FLORIDA 84, OHIO STATE 75: WHO TO WATCH IN 2008 (240 clicks)
Any ranking of next season's best teams is based on assumptions, only some of which will be borne out. Example: If Florida's frontcourt of Al Horford, Joakim Noah and Corey Brewer returns to school yet again, the Gators would be No. 1 yet again. But the guess is that all three will leave, which is why Florida doesn't appear on this list.
