When it comes to overall depth, the Big 12 this season may have been one of the strongest leagues in a long time. The conference sent seven of its 10 teams to the NCAA Tournament, the first time in 21 years and just the fifth time ever that a league sent 70% or more of its teams to the tourney.
Kansas State came into The World’s Most Famous Arena without a major test in the early going this season. They got two different ones in New York and now look forward to some practice time to work on their offense, a big concern.
Kansas State doesn’t have last season’s point guard leading the charge. However, Jacob Pullen and company are doing just fine, and their player ratings back that up.
Beware the Big 12. The conference includes the odds-on favorite to win the national championship — perhaps in as dominating as fashion as North Carolina last season — and several other teams that can contend for a spot among the Final Four.
Villanova, Kentucky and Kansas State are contending for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. If the selection committee picked today, the Wildcats that grab a top seed might surprise you.
We have some quick hitters on Dartmouth, Albany, Sacred Heart, Kansas State, and a rising prep program that had a good stretch recently.
