West Virginia Mountaineers (19):
Behold: Press Virginia! After a career spent gradually grinding
opponents into dust, Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins unveiled a special
surprise this season -- an always-on full-court press that shook
opposing ballhandlers loose on 28.2 percent of their possessions, the
highest rate in the sport. The Mountaineers didn't discard all of
Huggins' trademarks -- they remain, as ever, an elite offensive
rebounding team. Assuming star guard Juwan Staten gets fully healthy in time for the tournament, the Fightin' Huggy Bears will be one of the toughest outs in the field.
