5 Bold Predictions for the 2013-14 College Basketball Season
5. Andrew Wiggens will not lead Kansas freshmen in scoring; Wayne Selden will
Wiggens is likely to defer a little bit to his Kansas teammates. Selden is the other wing beside Wiggens and will take advantage of his scoring opportunities.
4. Miami will finish bottom 5 in the ACC
With all but one of Miami's key contributors leaving, the Hurricanes are bound to struggle. Rion Brown has potential, but he won't be able to get the job done. With the additions of Syracuse, Pittsburgh, and Notre Dame, Miami will have some serious problems this upcoming year.
3. 2 teams from the new Big East will make it the Sweet 16
The new Big East features the Catholic 7, plus Creighton, Xavier, and Butler. Marquette and Georgetown are the favorites to make it to the Sweet 16 right now, but don't count out Villanova or Xavier.
2. Notre Dame will have the best backcourt in the country
Kansas has Naadir Tharpe and Wayne Selden. Kentucky has the Harrison twins. Louisville has Terry Rozier and Russ Smith. So how can Notre Dame's guards beat these guys? Because Notre Dame's backcourt features 41% 3-point shooter Eric Atkins, high-volume scorer Jerian Grant, and promising freshman Demetrius Jackson. Notre Dame's frontcourt is a concern though.
1. Marshall Henderson will lead the nation in scoring
I'm sure we all know who Marshall Henderson is. That cocky, arrogant, sharpshooter from Ole Miss? Yeah, him. He doesn't do much except shoot threes, but he can fill up the bucket in a hurry. If he manages to stay out of trouble, he could be in contention for NPOY as well.
