"Expert Predictions: Men's Final Four Picks and National Projections for 2023-24"

ESPN's experts have made their predictions for the 2023-24 men's college basketball season. The landscape lacks a clear front-runner, with multiple teams in contention for the national title. North Carolina and Tennessee are highlighted as interesting teams to watch, while Miami and UCLA are considered mystery teams that could disrupt brackets or face tournament disaster. UConn and Gonzaga are predicted to be the first top 25 teams to exit the NCAA tournament. Florida Atlantic, Merrimack, and Le Moyne are non-Power 5 schools to root for, and players like Tucker DeVries, Max Fiedler, and Tristan da Silva are mentioned as ones to watch. The Wooden Award race features Zach Edey, Hunter Dickinson, and Kyle Filipowski as top contenders, and Isaiah Collier is predicted to be the newcomer of the year. Rick Barnes, Greg McDermott, and Kelvin Sampson are among the coaches to watch, and the All-America team includes players like Edey, Dickinson, Filipowski, Tyler Kolek, and Armando Bacot.
