Bowen: KU not focused on Big 12 race | KUsports.com

The Year After has arrived in college basketball ... so now what? - ESPN

For Wichita State, waking up means integrating eight new players as quickly as possible, replacing almost all of last season's trademark rebounding in one fell swoop. More than that, it means seeing what happens when Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet -- young men who experienced the basketball equivalent of the moon landing last season -- rejoin the mere mortals on Earth.

For Wisconsin, it means a once-in-a-decade roster that got a taste -- sweet, then bitter -- of the Final Four. For Creighton, it means life after Doug McDermott.

It's Calipari's deepest Kentucky team ever, and that's something that college basketball truthers will mention as they make this argument.
