It's obviously a very deep league. One of the deepest ever. There are no bad teams and 9 of the 10 are top 30ish per Kenpom. Ridiculous.
But I'm not sure that it's terribly strong at the top. KU is solid, but even they aren't a vintage KU team with dominant talent/athleticism. Texas and Baylor have plenty of talent but I don't know if either is a legit top 10 team. Texas could be, but the Beard situation might hurt their chances.
I'm not sold yet that Iowa St or K-State are great teams.

There aren’t any good teams in CBB. UNC was ranked #1 preseason and have cratered. UK is cratered. MSU is middling. Gonzaga is meh. UConn is supposed to be good but I haven’t seen them.
It’s hard for me to believe there is a team that is materially better than KU. There are going to be other contenders. And one might be KSU if they can keep focused and maintain their performance. They look ****ing nasty.
