Nova
*College basketball is the last thing on any sane person's mind right now, but I'm not sane, and I'm working on a college hoops project at the moment. I'm making a prediction: Villanova is going to the Final Four next year.*
The Wildcats return just about everyone from a team that played lights out down the stretch (winning eight of their last nine before the NCAAs), and reached the Sweet 16. The only real question mark is if a couple players with chronic injuries will be healthy.
I won't go so far as to say they'll win the national title, because Duke looks just ridiculously loaded. But I see Nova in the Final Four. And if you want to keep an eye peeled on another Final Four sleeper, Nevada looks pretty sweet on paper.
And if you're reading this and remembering what I've had to say about the NBA, let me clarify: I love college hoops. NBA, not so much.
(And no, I have no ties or allegiances to Villanova. My college team is the mighty Beacons of UMass Boston).
*assuming the Wildcats don't get jobbed on a phantom traveling call again.
