The 2009/2010 basketball season kicks off today and I'm as excited as everybody because NCAA basketball is one of my favorite sports seasons. Anyway, I've done it before and it's always fun to post your predictions for the season before it starts and then re-post this same story after the season is over to see how everybody did. Everyone should put their picks in the comments below for who will win the regular season conferences championship, who will win the tournament, and who will get NCAA bids. 

Feel free to add in your own predictions as well because it will be fun to look at them at the end of the season and see how you did. Stuff like all-conference players, freshmen/new comers of the year, highest RPI, best non-conference/overall record, etc. Anything you can think of really. I hope everyone is as excited as I am about the upcoming season and good luck to all of your respective teams! Click past the jump to see what my predictions are.
