1. Riverside University (Milwaukee)2015-16 record: 22-4
Head coach: Tyrone Lewis
The Tigers came up just one win short of advancing to the state tournament last season. With six of their top eight scorers back, including four guys in double figures, a trip to Madison is a good possibility. The team is led by Iowa State recruit
Terrance Lewis. The senior, who is rated as the 24th-best small forward in the Class of 2017 by 247Sports.com, averaged 22.2 points, drained 63 3-pointers and pulled down 9.9 rebounds.
George Dixon, also a senior, was a double-double machine with 13.4 points and 12.7 rebounds per night. Junior
Carlos Curtis, 12.5 points and 3.5 assists, and senior
Brent Byers (3.2 points) will be key pieces this season.

The Panthers have a very talented roster. It's also a young squad, which means Racine Park could be a team to watch for a number of years.
Nobal Days averaged just 6.2 points last season as a freshman, but he's being hyped as a big-time player. He's 6-foot-9 and rated No. 26 overall and the sixth-best power forward for the Class of 2019 by 247Sports.com.
