Sleepers in the NCAA Tournament
Mar 07, 2006 | 5:25PM | report this

I believe that this seasons NCAA College Basketball Tournament could be one of the greatest Tourney's on record. There are alot of teams that could make some noise, and alot of sleepers. Here are my sleepers.

Texas Longhorns- Daniel Gibson provides excellent point guard play which is so crucial in the Tournament. He can fill up a box score and is a great player. 37 points and 5 rebounds against Baylor prove he's a threat. LaMarcus Aldridge down low will give big name F/C trouble. With the combo of Gibson and Aldridge, I would not be surprised to have a burnt orange National Champion, or at least Final Four rep.

North Carolina Tar Heels- The win over Duke was no fluke. They have excellent young talent. Tyler Hansbrough has been a beast this year, just saturday he light up the Blue Devils for 27 points and 10 rebounds. He also put up 40 against Georgia Tech, something that even former Heel Michael Jordan never did. With the help of Reyshawn Terry, David Noel, and the supporting cast, this pick might not look so bad come Final Four.

Ohio State Buckeyes- You can never dismiss a unit with this much talent. Not neccasarily the superstars like a J.J. Reddick or Adam Morrison, but the unit comes together and plays great basketball.

Michigan State- Maurice Ager, Paul Davis, and Shannon Brown equals success. They could  get hot and start knocking off different teams and quickly find themselves in the Elite 8 and beyond.

Florida- Very talented unit featuring Al Harford, Joakim Noah, and Corey Brewer could mean a very exciting team come Tourney Time. If you want to pick a sleeper that no one is talking about, Florida could be the way to go.
