BYU (29-5) WHY TO LOVE: The Cougars have an excellent offense that averages 83.5 points per game. That’s not surprising, as junior guard Jimmer Fredette is one of the top scorers in the nation. Fredette (21.4 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 4.7 apg) is a great shooter, who nails 45.4 percent of his threes. Including Fredette, BYU…

2010 NCAA Tournament: West Bracket Teams Syracuse (28-4) WHY TO LOVE: This Syracuse team seems to have it all: – They have five double-digit scorers. – They have experience (four of those five players are upperclassmen). – They can hit from long range, nailing threes at a 38-percent clip as a team. Wes Johnson (38.1%),…

2010 NCAA Tournament: East Bracket Teams Kentucky (32-2) WHY TO LOVE: Freshman point guards don’t win the NCAA Tournament – unless they happen to be once-in-a-decade prospects. John Wall qualifies. Wall (16.8 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 6.2 apg) is one of the top players in the country and will be the No. 1 pick in the…

Florida (21-12) WHY TO LOVE: Florida has five players who average double figures: freshman guard Kenny Boynton (13.6 ppg), sophomore guard Erving Walker (12.6 ppg, 4.9 apg), junior forwards Chandler Parsons (12.1 ppg, 6.8 rpg) and Alex Tyus (12.0 ppg, 6.8 rpg), and junior center Vernon Macklin (10.4 ppg, 5.5 rpg). WHY TO HATE: The…

Baylor (25-7) WHY TO LOVE: Baylor has a great balance of terrific guard play and size. The Bears are led by junior guard LaceDarius Dunn (19.2 ppg, 4.7 rpg) and senior point guard Tweety Carter (15.8 ppg, 6.3 apg). The interior presence comes from Ekpe Udoh (13.4, 9.8), a 6-10 junior. The Bears shoot the…

Richmond (26-8) WHY TO LOVE: Great guard play. Junior Kevin Anderson (17.8 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 2.7 apg) and senior David Gonzalvez (14.3 ppg, 4.2 rpg) are both terrific. Along with Anderson and Gonzalvez, Richmond’s five leading scorers are upperclassmen. The Spiders take care of the ball well and play good defense; they average only 11.4…

Clemson (21-10) WHY TO LOVE: Senior forward Trevor Booker is a very good player (15.3 ppg, 8.3 rpg). He’s joined by junior guard Demontez Stitt (11.2 ppg, 3.3 apg, 36.4 3PT). The Tigers as a whole don’t shoot well from three-point range (33.5%), but they have three very solid shooters: Stitt (36.4), Andre Young (37.2)…
