ESPN put together a list of teams they expect to see make huge leaps from last year. #1 Kentucky is a given, after their disaster last year, anything would be an improvement. Nice to see big things expected of Tommy's Crimson.
Wesley Saunders (http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/57276/wesley-saunders), Siyani Chambers (http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/61399/siyani-chambers) and Laurent Rivard (http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/52117/laurent-rivard) were all double-figure scorers last season, and Curry and Casey will likely post similar or better point totals in 2013-14. If Harvard makes a tourney run this season it won’t be nearly as big of a surprise. This is a top-25-caliber team.
