Last year the Huskies were picked to finish 9th in the Big East. \u00a0If they hadn’t won the Big East tournament they might have sat out the Madness leaving someone else to become champs. \u00a0This year, even without Kemba Walker, the expectations are much higher, but justifiably so.<\/p>\n
That is because they should be more of a team this year. \u00a0As usual this team has plenty of size to bang down low but they should also be more balanced. \u00a0The Kemba Walker show was impressive but sometimes guys were watching too much. \u00a0If everyone plays their game they can definitely win the conference and make some noise thereafter. \u00a0Jeremy Lamb is a player and he has reinforcements in some top freshmen.<\/p>\n

\nAndre Drummond – Best big guy recruit in country, has NBA body already.
\nDeAndre Daniels – a very athletic wing player, can his skinny frame hold up?
\nRyan Boatright – He might be the answer as a unselfish distributor.<\/p>\n
\nKemba Walker<\/p>\n
\nAlex Oriakhi – Strong inside presence.
\nShabazz Napier – Will try and fill Walker’s shoes, at least in terms of running the team. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n
\nThis team always had good size and a strong defensive presence in the paint. \u00a0They need it to compete in the Big East but as it showed in the tournament it can still be a formula for winning a national championship. \u00a0Many knocked that championship game but don’t forget that the Huskies made Butler very uncomfortable out there with their defense. \u00a0With the addition of Drummond they have a hugh body that is also super talented. \u00a0He just broke his nose so he might ease into the season but when he figures it out the rest of the Big East will feel it.<\/p>\n
\nThis is a good team but you have to wonder who is going to step up and make the plays that Kemba Walker did last year. \u00a0In so many games he was the difference and they are expecting Jeremy Lamb to fill some if not that entire void. \u00a0Will they be able to win the close games it will take to compete in the Big East and on the national scene without that proven go to guy? \u00a0We will see.<\/p>\n
\nOf course, but repeating as Champions will be very tough. \u00a0Sweet Sixteen depending on matchups.
\nChampionship Odds<\/strong> 12\/1<\/p>\n
