Power Rankings: North Carolina No. 1 ahead of Kentucky, Kansas, Maryland

Posted May 15, 2015
1. North Carolina: While the Tar Heels have the most returning talent of any contender, they won't win it all if they're merely the same team they were last season. They need returnees to become better versions of themselves. Justin Jackson (if his shooting improves) and Theo Pinson (if he can earn playing time in J.P. Tokoto's old spot) have real growth potential. (Sports Illustrated)
