The Breakdown
Many believe this is Gary Williams' most talented team at Maryland. The Hoosiers have little problem making the Dance in Mike Davis' first season. Tommy Amaker and his band of freshmen net Seton Hall a high seed. Eddie Fogler's surprising Gamecocks make a run in the SEC.

The Breakdown
We're not bothering to pick the winner of the new 65 vs. 64 game, here between Hampton and Alabama St. Either loses to dominating Arizona, with all five starters back. Potential All-American B.B. Waldon leads eighth seed South Florida. Georgetown makes its return to the Dance.

The Breakdown
After losing heavy star power, Oklahoma and St. John's slip from loftier perches but still make the Dance. Remember Wisconsin? Most of its plodding-but-successful crew returns. Speaking of experience, USC has just that. And Mike Brey picks up right where Matt Doherty left off in South Bend.

The Breakdown
High-flying freshman Gerald Wallace is the missing piece in Alabama's NCAA puzzle. UCLA looks to fare better than its last tangle with the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (Detroit, '99). Wake Forest's Dave Odom returns to the Dance for the first time since Tim Duncan.
