I think Duke has a great chance to repeat especially now since it looks like Jason Williams is staying. All they lose is Battier and it looks like most everybody except Duke is losing their top underclassmen. Look at the other powerhouses around the country, it seems like everybody lost a lot except for Duke. Duke only lost Shane Battier (their only Senior).
But just look at the team they played in the Championship game, Arizona. Arizona had only one Senior in their starting five (Loren Woods), and 4 underclassmen and all of them left. Richard Jefferson, gone. Michael Wright, gone. Jason Gardner, gone. Gilbert Arenas, gone. You know, I don't ever remember a team with only one Senior losing their entire starting lineup in one year. That seems really devastating to a program.
And then Michigan State, also in the Final Four this year, lost Jason Richardson and Zach Randolph.
So yeah I think Duke will probably be the pre-season favorite going in and they should be.
