Pittsburgh Panthers

Kevin Stallings is now at the helm for the Panthers. Stallings does like to open the floor up and spread teams out a little more and likes to play with a stretch-four in his lineup. Hopefully Pitt can find a way back to the tournament soon.

Marcus Carr: Marcus is originally from Canada, but comes to Pittsburgh via Montverde Academy in Florida.  Marcus is listed as a point guard but he will most likely play off the ball for Kevin Stallings.

Syracuse Orange

Jim Boeheim is one of the best coaches in the country and he seems to always have the Orange in a good position for the Big Dance. It remains to be seen how Syracuse will respond to missing the NCAA tournament last year. Knowing Jim Boeheim, his team will still employ their patented 2-3 zone defense and keep teams off the scoreboard.

Marek Dolezaj: This native of Slovakia is long and athletic and can really shoot.  He plays on the wing and should be able to wreak a lot of havoc for the Orange on both sides of the ball.   Syracuse loves guys who can shoot threes and play defense.
