Sporting News, The, April 2, 2001

So we missed a few calls in our NCAA Tournament preview package two weeks ago. Who didn't? We should have stuck with the instincts that guided us last summer, when we projected our top five teams for this season to be 1. Duke; 2. Arizona; 3. Michigan State; 4. Stanford; 5. Maryland. Only Stanford is no longer standing--thanks to Maryland's win Saturday for the West Region title.

But it really wasn't settled until the teams of the Final Four fought their way through the unpredictability of the regionals. Next stop: Minneapolis, where we're sticking with Duke and the other three teams will be relying on the strengths honed over a rigorous season to prove us wrong.
