this year's BB team, in my opinion. In no particular order:

- Will Demin play like a lottery pick? How will he handle Big12 competition and physicality? Will he (potential) be drafted higher than Jimmer (accomplishments), or lower?

- It's a new coach, new system, and a chance for a senior Trey Stewart to get a fresh start in his final year. Will he turn that corner and make that leap? Will he find one single way he can be average on offense, so that he can actually get on the floor and disrupt opposing offenses? Or will he end his career buried behind a bevy of young talent? I'd really like to see him dunk on some unsuspecting fools this season.

- What IS Kanon Catchings? Is he a Jaxon Robinson replacement? Is he a Noah Waterman replacement? Can he surprise us by playing up into an early first round pick? Is his defense as good in games as reported to be in practice, a rare feat for a freshman? Will he be one of our go-to perimeter shooters, so much so that he keeps Koz glued to the bench, with his all-round game? Is he good enough to beat out Saunders, Mag, and Bosko (three way more experienced guys) to actually START?

- Who wins the backup PG job among Baker, Demin, Crawford?

- Can Hall or Saunders become all-conference players as upperclassmen? Will they make another leap up this year? Will Hall start locking down those free throws, and find a new consistency in closing down games with clutch play? Will Saunders' efficiency/production continue to hum along and can he expand his repertoire to become one of our featured scorers? Will he come off the bench and be a Sixth Man OTY candidate, or will he bring his veteran leadership and work ethic to the starting lineup?

- Is Baker really healthy? Will the tantalizing promise of an unrivaled shot creator be realized? Is it truly possible that a guy totally new to major minutes in this program can be our leading scorer, as the stats-heads predict?

- Despite our youth, can our length combined with the addition of Keba, Bosko, and Mag make this a stronger team defensively than last year? Significantly stronger?

- How is coach going to utilize our three main bigs, Keba, Fouss, Bosko? Who starts, who closes? Who runs the pick and roll best? Is one key to a best defensive lineup?

- Will Townsend Tripple's 'stache take over a game and put on a glorious show for the fans?
