Rk.   Team (preseason)      W-L   Early-season issues, Cat in the Hat 
                                  style 
 
 1.   Duke (1)              1-0   The Dookies won't have a ball if the 
                                  outside shots don't fall. 
 
 2.   Connecticut (2)       3-0   Emeka Okafor's fouls make Huskies 
                                  fans growl. 
 
 3.   Michigan State (3)    1-0   Too many Spartans on the wing could 
                                  mean trouble in the spring. 
 
 4.   Missouri (4)          0-0   Will the Tigers go away if Randy 
                                  Pulley can't play? 
 
 5.   Arizona (6)           0-0   These Cats fly with the ball; it's a 
                                  shame they're so small. 
 
 6.   Syracuse (7)          0-0   In big games without Melo, will the 
                                  Orange turn yellow? 
 
 7.   Kansas (8)            1-0   Roy will still be in thought if the 
                                  Hawks aren't Self-taught. 
 
 8.   North Carolina (9)    1-0   The three stars are so fine, but 
                                  don't look to the pine. 
 
 9.   Saint Joseph's (16)   1-0   The Hawks' guards can light it up, 
                                  but the big guys still are pups. 
 
10.   Gonzaga (5)           1-1   Picking them high seemed hip, but 
                                  these Zags lack some zip. 
 
11.   Florida (10)          1-0   Talent? There's enough. Let's see if 
                                  they're tough. 
 
12.   Oklahoma (11)         2-0   There's not much of a need except 
                                  someone to lead. 
 
13.   Illinois (12)         1-0   Three players have missed action and 
                                  have caused a distraction. 
 
14.   Cincinnati (13)       1-0   The fans will be hard-pressed to 
                                  root if the Bearcats can't shoot. 
 
15.   Texas (14)            1-0   One thing that can't be ignored is
