King for a lifetime, fool for a... lifetime...

University of Arizona basketball holds a special place for me. Probably the team I'm most passionate about (at least on a collegiate or club level). Even though it's still the middle of summer and college hoops doesn't tip off until November, there's a lot of buzz coming out of the Tucson school. Good buzz. This team is capable (even without Andre Iguodala who went pro -- perhaps their best player) of winning the championship next season. This after a thoroughly disappointing, hapless '03-'04 campaign. If they still had Andre, I'd say they're #1 with out question. Still, their odds are very good and they'll be healthier and deeper this coming season. Good things ahead this college hoops season.
