#7 UMass

by Peter Bard

National Championships: 0

Head Coach: John Calipari

Nickname: Minutemen

The star here is obviously Dr. J, but Camby and Roe were both excellent players, with Camby notably stealing most of Ray Allen’s National Player of the Year awards. Jim McCoy and Al “Teeth” Skinner form a tidy, smart backcourt with some shooting prowess. The ever quotable Rashaun Freeman highlights the bench, noting that the team could be successful, provided that they’re able to “overcome diversity.” Damn diversity.
