Excellence Rolls On For Arizona Basketball

Tucson is a basketball town. It’s undebatable. Even as Wildcat football continues to turn heads, Arizona’s meat and potatoes can be found at McKale Center.

Now that you are hungry, snack on this: CBS Sports recently published their take on the top 15 NCAA basketball teams with the greatest chance of success in the coming five years. Although it isn’t especially detailed, it provides an intriguing perspective for impatient hoop-heads. (Only 27 more days until the Red-Blue game!)

The list looks like this:

1- Duke, 2- Kentucky, 3- Kansas, 4- Arizona, 5- Virginia

6- Gonzaga, 7- Louisville, 8- North Carolina, 9- Michigan State, 10- Ohio State

11- Texas, 12- Maryland, 13- Villanova, 14- Wichita State, 15- North Carolina State
