Aldrich is probably the best big man in the country and they have 7 or 8 players that can knock down 3's consistently. I think they will run most teams out of the gym.
This is the best team they've had in a long, long time. Maybe the best since I started following KU basketball in 1986.
My hometown Wichita State Shockers had a nice opening game win today against Fairliegh-Dickinson. All 5 starters in double figures. Missing their only senior due to a 3 game suspension at the hands of the NCAA for failing to certify as an amatuer (school's fault, not his). They may surprise some folks in the Missouri Valley this year, though they are very young.

I wouldn't count out another Big 12 team as UT has the deepest/best team they've had probably ever. 3 Senior starters with an unbelievable freshman class. Feb. 8 is already being called the game of the year by the experts. I really think it comes down to these 2 teams. Kentucky and UNC are too inexperienced.
