Kansas will be there in the end. First experienced team Bill Self has had since coming to KU (save the first team he inherited that just choked). Watch for Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush to be in the player of the year conversation.
Texas A&M will be the second best team in the Big XII.
Probably a down year for Wichita State in the Missouri Valley as new coach Gregg Marshall takes over for Mark Turgeon who went to the afforementioned A&M. Maybe they'll sneak into the tourney by winning the conference tourney. Missour Valley is no longer a mid-major conference IMO.
Good times.
Oh, and my beloved Montana Grizzlies are favored to win the Big Sky yet again!
