Hate him or love him, Dickie V brings an excitement and passion to college basketball, and really sports in general, that is completely unmatched, and for the most part, refreshing, his ACC man-love notwithstanding.
Yesterday Dickie V. unveiled his pre-season top 40 teams for the upcoming college hoops campaign.
1. North Carolina. With Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green all returning, the Tar Heels are the clear-cut preseason numero uno.
