Sleepy, ANA basketball this year has a few worthwhile teams so it won't be as boring like the previous events...As per my talks with one of NYNYC;s ballers, looks like they've found themselves some new cats.  Heard from peeps that DC still sports the same vets again .  This season, if I were to bet the ranch, I'd go with MMC.  They've got 2 new recruits (both 6'3") who'll bring about the much needed size and inner-presence that they lacked at the last ANA.  They're more determined and ever since the All US Tibetan Tourney where these kids lost in double OT (without 2 of their first 5 players), their confidence level is at its peak right now.  And finally, never doubt DH, the reigning champs...They may pull it off again this year but am wondering if they would still have the same team?  Moreover, with the height monopoly no longer a factor, would they fare as well as they did last year?  Have to wait and see for this to unfold.

And is Dallas bringing its team from last year?  Too much misinfo being fed around that they will not be attending or they may bring a whole new team (because of the fight last year as this year the ANA is around NY territory).  If the same team comes, they are a team to watch too.
