My Elite Eight teams for 2001-02 have become my Super Seven. Arizona and Michigan State fell off the original post-Final Four list due to major losses via early entry into the NBA draft. So, looking ahead to next season, here are my Super Seven:

1. Duke -- Imagine a lineup of Jason Williams, Chris Duhon, Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy and transfer Dahntay Jones from Rutgers. Coach K has a shot to defend the national title. He also has Nick Horvath returning from injury plus a couple of recruits (including Daniel Ewing, who could be a factor for the Blue Devils).

2. Florida -- If recruit Kwame Brown comes to Gainesville instead of going to the NBA, Billy Donovan's team will be very dangerous. Having Brett Nelson, Teddy Dupay and Udonis Haslem helps.

3. Maryland -- Gary Williams has Lonny Baxter and Juan Dixon leading the returning players.

4. Kentucky -- Tubby Smith's team has another year of experience plus Keith Bogans and Tayshaun Prince leading the way. The return of Jules Camara, who sat out this season due to a suspension, is another plus.

5. UCLA -- If big man Dan Gadzuric and sharpshooter Jason Kapono come back, watch out.

6. Illinois -- Bill Self's backcourt tandem of Cory Bradford and Frank Williams will be back. And Brian Cook will be a force up front.

7. Indiana -- Mike Davis did a super job in his first season as head coach. Now he has a long-term contract plus diaper dandy Jared Jeffries coming back for his sophomore year.
