The Wildcats received 52 of the 65 first-place votes among pollsters. Just behind ...

Heading into the 2014-15 season, there aren't too many questions about Kentucky basketball. Returning a majority of the players that made the national title game and getting four McDonald's All-Americans joining them on a roster makes Kentucky a clear favorite to win the national championship this season.

For many of us, our relationship with our favorite college basketball team is like that of a marriage. In sickness and in health. Forsaking all others. Til death do us part.

The North Carolina basketball team is No. 6 in the country and has visions of a national championship at the end of the year, but there are things it must take care of early in the season. In fact, the Tar Heels only have three games before the Battle 4 Atlantis, where they play Butler, either UCLA or Oklahoma and then likely Florida or Wisconsin.
