A look at the teams in the South region of the 2009 NCAA tournament.

1. North Carolina

Nickname: Tar Heels. Location: Chapel Hill.

Record: 28-4, 13-3. Bid: Atlantic Coast Conference at-large.

NCAA history: 96-39 in 40 appearances. Last: 2008, lost to Kansas in national semifinals.

Coach: Roy Williams, 49-18 in 19 appearances.

Overview: An overwhelming favorite before the season to win the national title, UNC remains possibly the nation's most talented team, despite the season-long loss of injured wing Marcus Ginyard. Forward Tyler Hansbrough and point Ty Lawson are two of the best at their positions, though Lawson missed the ACC tournament with a toe injury. With their high-octane offense, UNC averaged 91.2 points and shot 48.5% from the field, while also outrebounding opponents by almost eight a game.

Best wins: Duke, Michigan State, Florida State.

Starters: F Tyler Hansbrough, 6-9, Sr. (21.1 ppg, 8.1 rpg. 52.5 FG%, 84.9 FT%); G Ty Lawson, 5-11, Jr. (15.9 ppg, 6.5 apg, 53.8 FG%, 46.7 3FG%); G Wayne Ellington, 6-4, Jr. (14.9 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 46.4 FG%, 38.5 3FG%); F-G Danny Green, 6-6, Sr. (13.9 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 50.5 FG%, 44.4 3FG%); F Deon Thompson, 6-8, Jr. (11.2 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 50.0% FG).

Reserves: F Ed Davis, 6-10, Fr. (6.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 50.3 FG%); G Bobby Frasor, 6-3, Sr. (2.6 ppg, 1.7 rpg); C Tyler Zeller, 7-0, Fr. (4.6 ppg, 1.7 rpg).

2. Oklahoma

Nickname: Sooners. Location: Norman.

Record: 27-5, 13-3. Bid: Big 12 at-large.

NCAA history: 33-25 in 25 appearances. Last: 2008, lost to Louisville in second round.

Coach: Jeff Capel, 1-2 in two appearances.

Overview: All eyes are on Blake Griffin, a double-double machine and likely national player of the year. He commands extra attention, and a good supporting cast — brother Taylor Griffin at power forward, Willie Warren and Austin Johnson at guard — can take advantage. Warren is one of the nation's best freshmen but was enigmatic late in the regular season, and the Sooners showed some wear overall. They really beat no one of note away from home.

Best wins: Davidson, Purdue, Texas, Okla. State.

Starters: F Taylor Griffin, 6-7, Sr. (9.7 ppg, 6.0 rpg); F Blake Griffin, 6-10, So. (22.1 ppg, 14.2 rpg, 2.4 apg, 1.3 blocks, 63.4 FG%, 59.0 FT%); G Tony Crocker, 6-6, Jr. (9.6 ppg, 1.2 apg, 39.9 FG%, 36.6 3FG%); G Willie Warren, 6-4, Fr. (14.7 ppg, 3.1 apg, 1.2 steals, 37.8 3FG%); G Austin Johnson, 6-3, Sr. (8.6 ppg, 3.9 apg, 1.3 steals, 34.8 3FG%).

Reserves: F Juan Pattillo, 6-6, Jr. (6.6 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 80.0 FT%); G Cade Davis, 6-5, So. (5.2 ppg, 1.1 apg, 38.9 FG%, 36.0 3FG%).

3. Syracuse

Nickname: Orange. Location: Syracuse, N.Y.

Record: 26-9, 11-7. Bid: Big East at-large.

NCAA history: 48-31 in 31 appearances. Last: 2006, lost to Texas A&M in first round.

Coach: Jim Boeheim, 40-24 in 25 appearances.

Overview: The Orange won 16 of their first 17 games then dropped seven of 10 before getting hot again at the end of the year, including their dramatic run in the Big East tournament. Jonny Flynn is one of the top point guards in the nation, and Eric Devendorf and Andy Rautins are potentially dangerous from the arc. The Orange led the Big East in scoring (80.1) and field goal percentage (49.5). Post player Arinze Onuaku (knee tendinitis) was inconsistent at end of the year. He is one of the worst foul shooters in the nation (30%)Syracuse's 2-3 zone can be problematic for teams that aren't used to it, but this team does not have a lot of depth and needs to quickly bounce back from its grueling four-game stretch in New York.

Best wins: Memphis, Kansas, Connecticut

Starters: G Jonny Flynn, 6-0, So. (17.3 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 6.4 apg); G Eric Devendorf, 6-4, Jr. (15.2 ppg, 3.2 apg, 37.3 3FG%); C Arinze Onuaku, 6-9, Jr. (10.5 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 68.1 FG%); F Paul Harris, 6-5, Jr. (12.8 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 51.7 FG%.); F Rick Jackson, 6-9, So. (8.1 ppg, 5.8 rpg., 63.6 FG%, 1.7 bpg.)

Reserves: F Kristof Ongenaet, 6-8, Sr. (2.6 ppg, 4.5 rpg); G Andy Rautins, 6-5, Jr. (10.3 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 38.5 FG%, 37.2 3FG%).

4. Gonzaga

Nickname: Bulldogs. Location: Spokane, Wash.

Record: 26-5, 14-0. Bid: West Coast champion.

NCAA history: 12-11 in 11 appearances. Last: 2008, lost to Davidson in first round.

Coach: Mark Few, 9-9 in nine appearances.

Overview: The Bulldogs expect to be here every year and to stay a while. That hasn't happened the last two seasons, and early setbacks raised questions about a lofty preseason ranking. But the way the Zags powered through the WCC means an opponent would have to be very sharp to take them out. Gonzaga can play any type of defense, with inside players able to switch on the perimeter. Known commodities on offense are veteran guards and the deceptive range of Josh Heytvelt. Still, physical teams will test their front-court depth.

Best wins: Oklahoma State, Tennessee, Saint Mary's.

Starters: G Jeremy Pargo, 6-2, Sr. (9.8 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 5.1 apg); G Matt Bouldin, 6-5, Jr. (13.7 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 3.4 apg, 44.8 3FG%); G Micah Downs, 6-8, Sr. (9.2 ppg, 4.6 rpg); F Josh Heytvelt, 6-11, Sr. (14.9 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 54.5 FG%); F Austin Daye, 6-11, So. (12.9 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 2.0 bpg).

Reserves: G Steven Gray, 6-5, So. (9.3 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 2.0 apg); G Demetri Goodson, 5-11, Fr. (3.9 ppg).

5. Illinois

Nickname: Illini. Location: Champaign.

Record: 24-9, 11-7. Bid: Big Ten at-large.

NCAA history: 38-28 in 27 appearances. Last: 2007, lost to Virginia Tech in first round.

Coach: Bruce Weber, 10-6 in six appearances.

Overview: After missing last year's NCAA tourney, Illinois made an impressive turnaround. But the Illini might have to deal with a major setback. Floor leader Chester Frazier missed the Big Ten tournament because of an injured right hand. He sustained the injury in practice Wednesday and had surgery the following morning. Frazier is Illinois' best defender in man-to-man schemes and was named to the Big Ten's all-defensive team. Illinois gave up just 56.5 points a game, the third-best scoring defense in Division I. Opponents shot just 28.5% on three-pointers.

Best wins: Missouri, Ohio State, Purdue.

Starters: F Mike Davis, 6-9, So. (11.1 ppg., 7.9 rpg., 53.3 FG%, 69.6 FT%); C Mike Tisdale, 7-1, So. (10.8 ppg., 4.0 rpg., 54.0 FG%); G Trent Meacham, 6-2, Sr. (9.9 ppg., 41.7 FG%, 40.9 3FG%, 84.3 FT%); G Chester Frazier, 6-2, Sr. (5.7 ppg., 44.8 FG%, 5.3 apg.); G Demetri McCamey, 6-3, So. (11.9 ppg., 4.8 apg, 32.7 3FG%).

Reserves: G Calvin Brock, 6-5, Sr. (4.8 ppg., 56.3 FT%); F Dominique Keller, 6-7, Jr. (5.7 ppg., 50.3 FG%); G Jeff Jordan, 6-1, So. (1.0 ppg.).

6. Arizona State

Nickname: Sun Devils. Location: Tempe.

Record: 24-9, 11-7. Bid: Pacific-10 at-large.

NCAA history: 12-13 in 12 appearances. Last: 2003, lost to Kansas in second round.

Coach: Herb Sendek, 6-6 in six appearances.

Overview: ASU has 20 wins in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1979-80 and 1980-81. James Harden is one of the most impressive players in the country. He's just the third sophomore to be Pac-10 player of the year, joining Jason Kidd and Mike Bibby. Sun Devils aren't big but have the tenacity and teamwork to lock up teams with their zone defense. They allow just 59.8 points a game and 40.9% shooting. They seemed to right themselves in the Pac-10 tournament after losing three in a row.

Best wins: UCLA, Arizona, Brigham Young.

Starters: G James Harden, 6-5, So. (20.8 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 50.4 FG%); G Jamelle McMillan, 6-2, So. (5.0 ppg); G Derek Glasser, 6-2, Jr. (8.0 ppg, 40.9 3FG%, 4.7 apg); F Jeff Pendergraph, 6-9, Sr. (14.4 ppg, 8.5 rpg, 66.5 FG%); F Rihards Kuksiks, 6-5, So, (10.8 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 45.6 3FG%).

Reserves: G Ty Abbott, 6-3, So. (6.3 ppg, 4.1 rpg); F Jerren Shipp, 6-3, Jr. (5.0 ppg).

7. Clemson

Nickname: Tigers Location: Clemson, S.C.

Record: 23-8, 9-7. Bid: Atlantic Coast Conference at-large.

NCAA history: 8-8 in eight appearances. Last: 2008, lost to Villanova in first round.

Coach: Oliver Purnell, 0-4 in four appearances.

Overview: The Tigers opened the season with 16 consecutive wins. However, they let a few close games get away late in the season. This is a veteran group with good inside-outside balance that should be primed to make amends for last season's early ouster. Trevor Booker is strong inside, and K.C. Rivers and Terrence Oglesby can both be very dangerous from the three-point arc. The Tigers often like to push the tempo and their defense can be disruptive, forcing better than 17 turnovers a game.

Best wins: Duke, Illinois, South Carolina

Starters: F-C Trevor Booker, 6-7, Jr. (15.2 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 56.9 FG%, 2.1 bpg); G-F K.C. Rivers, 6-5, Sr. (14.3 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 40.1 3FG%); G Terrence Oglesby, 6-2, So. (13.6 ppg, 39.8 3FG%); G Demontez Stitt, 6-2, So. (8.8 ppg, 3.8 apg, 41.6 FG%); C-F Raymond Sykes, 6-9, Sr. (7.8 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 56.6 FG%).

Reserves: F David Potter, 6-6, Jr. (5.2 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 40.6 FG%); F Jerai Grant, 6-8, So. (4.8 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 67.5 FG%).

8. LSU

Nickname: Tigers. Location: Baton Rouge.

Record: 26-7, 13-3. Bid: SEC at-large.

NCAA history: 23-22 in 19 appearances. Last: 2006, lost to Florida in national semifinals.

Coach: Trent Johnson, 4-4 in four appearances.

Overview: The experienced Tigers flourished in Trent Johnson's first year. They have used only three starting lineups and do the little things that make a team successful. Chris Johnson leads the defensive effort in the paint, blocking three shots a game to help the Tigers average six a contest, as well as nearly eight steals. And the hit the glass with authority, out-rebounding opponents by over five boards a game. Marcus Thornton is their go-to guy on offense, but Tasmin Mitchell has also hit some big shots in critical situations this season.

Best wins: Tennessee, Florida.

Starters: G Marcus Thornton, 6-4, Sr. (20.9 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 2.1 apg); F Tasmin Mitchell, 6-7 Jr. (16.4 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 53.3 FG%); G Bo Spencer, 6-1, So. (11.7 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 41.7 3FG%); C Chris Johnson, 6-11, Sr. (7.9 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 2.7 bpg); G Garrett Temple, 6-6, Sr. (7.1 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 1.8 spg, 80.3 FT%)

Reserves: G Terry Martin, 6-6, Sr. (4.7 ppg, 2.4 rpg); F Quintin Thornton, 6-9, Sr. (2.9 ppg, 2.8 rpg); F Storm Warren, 6-7, Fr. (2.0 ppg, 1.9 rpg).

9. Butler

Nickname: Bulldogs. Location: Indianapolis.

Record: 26-5, 15-3. Bid: Horizon at-large.

NCAA history: 8-8 in 8 appearances. Last: 2008, lost in the second round to Tennessee.

Coach: Brad Stevens, 1-1 in one appearance.

Overview: Led by Matt Howard, the Bulldogs have at least 25 wins for the third consecutive season. Howard is the league's player of the year and helps anchor a defense that ranked fifth in the nation, allowing foes to shoot just 38%. The team also features freshman Gordon Hayward, who ranks in the top 10 in the league in 10 statistical categories. Teams will find the Bulldogs difficult to get out of their comfort zone offensively. Of note: Butler is 11-3 in its last 14 games vs. teams from BCS leagues.

Best wins: Xavier, Alabama-Birmingham, Cleveland State.

Starters: F Matt Howard, 6-8, So. (14.3 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 55.2 FG%); F Willie Veasley, 6-3, Jr. (9.1 ppg, 4.4 rpg), G Gordon Hayward, 6-8, Fr. (13.8 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 45.4 3FG%); G Shelvin Mack, 6-3, Fr. (11.7 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 3.6 apg,); G Ronald Nored, 6-0, Fr. (4.2 ppg, 3.1 rpg).

Reserves: G Zach Hahn, 6-0, So. (5.3 ppg, 77.8 FT%); G Shawn Vanzant, 6-1, So. (3.8 ppg); F Avery Jukes, 6-8, Jr. (3.2 ppg).

10. Michigan

Nickname: Wolverines. Location: Ann Arbor.

Record: 20-13, 9-9. Bid: Big Ten at-large.

NCAA history: 34-15 in 16 appearances. Last: 1995, lost to Western Ky. in first round (1996, 1998 appearances vacated by NCAA sanctions).

Coach: John Beilein, 6-4 in four appearances.

Overview: The guard-heavy Wolverines are ahead of schedule in rebuilding under Beilein, in his second year in Ann Arbor. They rely on the perimeter game out of necessity, with just one forward starter in DeShawn Sims. They shot 32.9% on three-pointers; 10th in the Big Ten. Opponents shot 44% from the field against Michigan's 1-3-1 zone defense; Michigan shot 42.5% on field goals. Offense runs primarily through Sims and guard Manny Harris. Rotation goes 11 deep.

Best wins: Duke, Illinois, UCLA.

Starters: F DeShawn Sims, 6-8, Jr. (15.3 ppg., 7.1 rpg., 50.8 FG%); G Zack Novak, 6-5, Fr. (6.8 ppg., 3.4 rpg.); G Stu Douglass, 6-3, Fr. (5.9 ppg.); G C.J. Lee, 6-0, Sr. (2.5 ppg.); G Manny Harris, 6-5, So. (17.1 ppg., 7.0 rpg., 41.3 FG%, 85.8 FT%).

Reserves: F Zack Gibson, 6-10, Jr. (3.9 ppg.); G Laval Lucas-Perry, 6-3, Fr. (7.4 ppg.); G Kelvin Grady, 5-11, So. (4.7 ppg.).

11. Temple

Nickname: Owls. Location: Philadelphia.

Record: 22-11, 11-5.Bid: Atlantic-10 champ.

NCAA history: 31-26 in 26 appearances. Last: 2008, lost to Michigan State in first round.

Coach: Fran Dunphy, 1-10 in 10 appearances.

Overview: Dionte Christmas is the go-to player and is closing in on the school career record for three-pointers. When he is shooting well, the Owls are very difficult to deal with. They average than seven three-pointers a game. Temple is also a typically tough defense team. They harass opponents, holding them to just over 40% shooting from the field and, led by Lavoy Allen, hit the glass hard to eliminate second-chance opportunities. The team thrives in close games, winning all four of its overtime tilts this season.

Best wins: Xavier, Tennessee.

Starters: G Dionte Christmas, 6-5, Sr. (19.2 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 3.0 apg); F Lavoy Allen, 6-9, So. (11.1 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 57.8 FG%); C Sergio Olmos, 7-0, Sr. (8.2 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 56.1 FG%); G Ryan Brooks, 6-4, Jr. (10.4 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 40.0 3FG%); G Semaj Inge, 6-4, Sr. (7.2 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 3.4 apg).

Reserves: G Juan Fernandez, 6-4, Fr. (5.9 ppg); G Luis Guzman, 6-3, Jr. (2.2 ppg); F Craig Williams, 6-9, So. (5.7 ppg, 3.2 apg).

12. Western Kentucky

Nickname: Hilltoppers. Location: Bowling Green, Ky.

Record: 24-8, 15-3. Bid: Sun Belt champion.

NCAA history: 17-21 in 20 appearances. Last: 2008, lost to UCLA in regional semifinal.

Coach: Ken McDonald, first appearance.

Overview: McDonald, the new man in charge, returned to Western Kentucky after serving as a Texas assistant. Gone are the dynamic backcourt leaders who fueled the Sweet 16 run. But the team's basic makeup is the same. WKU likes to set a fast pace as A.J. Slaughter and Orlando Mendez-Valdez have stepped into the roles held by Tyrone Brazelton and Courtney Lee. The bench doesn't provide many points, and the front-court production suffers if Evans gets into early foul trouble.

Best wins: Louisville, Georgia, Arkansas-Little Rock.

Starters: G AJ Slaughter, 6-3, Jr. (15.8 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 3.6 apg); G Orlando Mendez-Valdez, 6-1, Sr. (14.0 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 4.0 apg, 40.6 3FG%); F Sergio Kerusch, 6-5, So. (11.2 ppg, 7.4 rpg); F Steffphon Pettigrew, 6-5, So. (12.7 ppg, 5.1 rpg); C Jeremy Evans, 6-9, Jr. (8.7 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 63.2 FG%).

Reserves: G Anthony Sally, 6-2, Jr. (4.1 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 2.8 apg); C DJ Magley, 6-9, So. (2.5 ppg, 2.5 rpg).

13. Akron

Nickname: Zips. Location: Akron, Ohio.

Record: 23-12, 10-6. Bid: Mid-American champ.

NCAA history: 0-1. Last: 1986, lost to Michigan in first round.

Coach: Keith Dambrot, first appearance.

Overview: Despite losing over 3,300 career points from last season's roster and dropping two consecutive MAC title games, the Zips advanced to tournament for the first time since Bob Huggins was coach. Led by tournament MVP and MAC defensive player of the year Nate Linhart, they are stingy on defense, ranking seventh nationally in defending the three-pointer (29.2%) and lead the MAC in turnover margin (plus-4.09). Brett McKnight, voted MAC best sixth man, tops the Zips in scoring.

Best wins: Bowling Green, Buffalo.

Starters: F Nate Linhart, 6-8, Sr. (10.3 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 43.8 FG%); F Chris McKnight, 6-7, Jr. (9.1 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 45.7 FG%); G Darryl Roberts, 6-0, Jr. (7.9 ppg, 37.7 3FG%, 93.3 FT%); F Nikola Cvetinovic, 6-8, Fr. (4.5 ppg, 48 FG%); G Steve McNees, 6-2, So. (5.9 ppg, 35.8 3FG%).

Reserves: F Brett McKnight, 6-6, So. (11.3 ppg, 3.6 rpg); G Brett McClanahan, 6-4, Fr. (4.7 ppg, 33.3 3 FG%); F Jimmy Conyers, 6-5, Sr. (3.3 ppg, 3.3 rpg); G Anthony Hitchens, 5-9, Fr. (8.9 ppg, 2.2 apg).

14. Stephen F. Austin

Nickname: Lumberjacks. Location: Nacogdoches, Texas.

Record: 23-7, 13-3. Bid: Southland champion.

NCAA history: First appearance.

Coach: Danny Kaspar, first appearance.

Overview: With the conference's top defense, which ranked third in the nation holding opponents to 37% shooting and just 56 ppg, the top-seeded Jacks bulldozed through the Southland and onto the program's first NCAA tournament appearance. Led by Kasper, an assistant at Lamar in 1980 when the Cardinals made it to the Sweet 16, the Jacks finished undefeated at home. Center and conference player of the year Matt Kingsley was named the tournament MVP.

Best wins: North Dakota State, Sam Houston State, Nicholls State.

Starters: C Matt Kingsley, 6-9, Sr. (16.1 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 1.3 bpg); F Josh Alexander, 6-4, Sr. (14.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg, .350 3FG%); F Nick Shaw, 6-6, Sr. (6.1 ppg, 6 rpg, 35.4 3FG%); G Eric Bell, 5-3, Jr. (3.6 ppg, 3.4 apg, 40.5 3FG%); G Girod Adams, 5-10, Jr. (5.4 ppg, 1.6 rpg, .355 3FG%).

Reserves: G Eddie Williams, 6-2, So. (7.4 ppg, 2.7 apg); G Walt Harris, 6-5, Jr. (3.9 ppg,)

15. Morgan State

Nickname: Bears. Location: Baltimore.

Record: 23-11, 13-3. Bid: MEAC champion.

NCAA history: First appearance.

Coach: Todd Bozeman, 2-3 in 3 appearances.

Overview: After beginning the season 5-8, a win at Maryland catapulted the Bears to an 18-3 finish. Led by former Cal-coach Todd Bozeman, the Bears dominated the MEAC and won their three conference tournament games by an average of 17.3 points. Morgan State, which lost in last year's MEAC title game, won its first conference title since 1977. Bozeman, MEAC coach of the year, will make his first NCAA tournament appearance since leading Cal to three bids in four seasons from 1992-96. The Bears are led by the Reggie Holmes, the conference tournament's most outstanding player.

Best wins: DePaul, Maryland, Norfolk State.

Starters: G Reggie Holmes, 6-4, Jr. (16.9 ppg, 5.5 rpg, .373 3FG%); G Jermaine Bolden, 5-9, Sr. (9.2 ppg, 4.9 apg, 1.4 spg); G Rogers Barnes, 6-2, Sr. (8.6 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 1.7 spg); F Marquise Kately, 6-5, Sr. (11 ppg, 5.4 rpg,); F Rodney Stokes, 6-10, So. (4.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 1.2 bpg).

Reserves: F Kevin Thompson, 6-8, Fr. (9.1 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 1.2 bpg); G Troy Smith, 6-4, Jr. (2.6 ppg, 1.2 rpg); F Ameer Ali, 6-4, Fr. (2.7 ppg, 3 rpg).

16. Radford

Nickname: Highlanders. Location: Radford, Va.

Record: 21-11, 15-3. Bid: Big South champion.

NCAA history: 0-1. Last: 1998, lost to Duke in first round.

Coach: Brad Greenberg, first appearance.

Overview: Radford more than doubled its win total from last season and will make its first NCAA appearance in 11 years. To complement an experienced backcourt, the Highlanders added junior-college transfer Artsiom Parakhouski. The Atlantic Sun tournament MVP and Belarus native is the only conference player to average double figures in scoring and rebounding. Radford led the league with 138 blocked shots. Kenny Thomas is the team's best perimeter shooter and Amir Johnson leads the league in assists. The bench isn't very deep.

Best wins: Winthrop, Virginia Military Institute.

Starters: C Artsiom Parakhouski, 6-11, Jr. (16.3 ppg, 11.2 rpg, 55.2 FG%); G Kenny Thomas, 6-3, Sr. (14.8 ppg, 2.2 apg, 38.9 3FG%); F/C Joey Lynch-Flohr, 6-8, Jr. (13.7 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 53.2 FG%); G Amir Johnson, 5-9, Jr. (9.6 ppg, 36.8 FG%, 4.7 rpg); F Phillip Martin, 6-6, Jr. (4.3 ppg, 3.0 rpg).

Reserves: G Chris McEachin, 6-5, So. (8.8 ppg, 2.8 rpg); F Eric Hall, 6-8, Jr. (4.6 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 1.4 bpg).
