Katz Weighs In On Wisconsin BB and Bars

From Andy Katz's chat today:

Ryan -- Portland,Maine: Most people have Florida repeating, but who would you say has the best chance to knock them off?

Andy Katz: Florida, Kansas and North Carolina are the three favorites and after that there are a host of teams that could win the title like Arizona, Georgetown, Pitt, Wisconsin, UCLA, LSU, Ohio State....so take your pick.

Frank (Madison): I've seen a couple places give praise to the upcoming Wisconsin season. Is it because of their depth or are they THAT good?

Andy Katz: No, the Badgers are that good. They've got the preseason player of the year in Alando Tucker (my opinion), and a solid nucleus around him with depth at every spot. The system works to perfection for the Badgers and a homecourt that is one of the toughest in the country. I wouldn't be shocked to see Wisconsin in Atlanta.

Nate (Houston, TX): Better college bar: State Street Brats, the Essen Haus, or Brothers?

Andy Katz: Essen haus. Turned 21 there.
