Upperclassman

There is no doubt that Kansas and North Carolina are extremely talented and dangerous teams  They both, however, possess a very dubious characteristic.  Their starting lineups consist predominantly of freshmen and sophomores.  We have seen earlier this year that Kansas, in particular, can be very susceptible to losing close games.  Kansas wins big, but they have lost close games in the last minutes due to inconsistent play of their young players.  That's why I believe teams with juniors and seniors in their starting lineups are at an advantage when tournament time rolls around.  Here are a few teams that start at least four upperclassman that I believe will be a force in the tournament.

  • Pittsburgh
  • Maryland
  • Wisconsin
  • Texas A&M
  • Indiana
