Watched all the opening B12 games, hadn't watched any of the teams play much. Thoughts/rankings based on one game
9. UCF has some dudes!
10. TTEch : Toppin will be a handful

1. WV: Best overall team I saw today, what a turnaround, they hit a home run with that new coach.
4. KU: I can't figure these guys out, full of five-star talent but they just seem to be playing with one hand tied behind their back. They're all in on Dickinson, but they flow better when he's off the floor.

2. Iowa St: Their half-court D just sucks the life out of the other team. Like if you ran into a dementor or something
13. CU: Not sure about these guys yet, Hammond can keep 'em in games.

3. Houston: They've dropped off offensively with Shead gone, defense still top notch, they just muddy up the game with those two bigs
15. OKSt: Coach has them playing a run and gun style to force scoring. Will have to figure out how to score in the half court. Pretty good D though

7. BYU: Deep team, should be competitive all year
14. AZ St.: Pretty young team, but definitely lots of talent. Hopefully they stick together for a couple/three years

8. AZ: Tough to beat when Love is on fire. Need consistency from other players. VeeSaar had a nice inside game
11. TCU: Reloaded with athletes and shooters, undersized like they were last year, but can hang with anyone when shots are falling

5. Baylor: Lots of great athletes and size, not sure if Roach is the PG to make it all work. Edgecombe is gifted
16. Utah: Yuck, my schadenfreude gave way to pitiful embarrassment.

6.Cincy: One of the few teams where I still recognize most of their roster, continuity will help them win a lot of games this year.
12. KSU: Coleman Hawkins reminds me of Desu from Texas last year. N'Guessan, though, is the real factor of how well this team will do.
