Notes: Slew of Final Four darkhorses here...Tennessee, athletic? Can't believe that; the loss of Chris Lofton will not be felt guaranteed. The Vols will be more high-octane than ever, just ask Tyler Smith...Lute Olsen, gone. Brandon Jennings, gone. Chase Budinger is still there, and will keep things under control in the desert...No March uneasiness for Herb Sendek this year, he has a powerhouse squad in Tempe that could challenge UCLA for the Pac-10 crown led by guard James Harden...The familiar faces are gone in D.C., but DaJuan Summers will be the next Jeff Green; the kid can score and defend just like him. If Summers reaches potential, Georgetown could make it deep in March...Levance Fields, Sam Young and DeJuan Blair are back for the Panthers; they feature depth, experience and defense. They cannot score with Louisville and will have difficulty keeping pace with offenses that can fill it up...Texas lost DJ Augustin, but that's it and they were certainly more of a one man show; Guard A.J. Abrams and forward Damion James will have to pick up where Ford, Durant and Augustin have left off...Not much will change in Milwaukee with Tom Crean's departure; assistant Brent Williams and all-Big East guard Dominic James will keep the Golden Eagles steady...Do the Dews; Miami is primed for its best season in years in the ACC, get on board, they are big, athletic, fun and can shoot the lights out...Best home court advantage statistically since the turn of the century; Bo knows these Badgers- four big time returnees including junior guard Trevon Hughes...Michigan State freshman Delvon Roe is supposed to be the next Greg Oden, not the next Kosta Koufos. If he fulfills his expectations, the loss of Drew Neitzel won't be nearly as felt. Combine Roe with Goran Suton and the Spartans are the deepest in the Big Ten.
