kenpom says it was better last year, and that appears to be accurate.  ku not being the best team makes it slightly more interesting maybe, at least for fans of the other contending teams.

It's pretty awesome and fun to watch.  League is so entertaining and competitive

1) Trae Young
2)TCU has played 3 OT games and had 1,4 pt losses
3) Ku is -6 on points after 3 home games
4) 2 teams that were 11-25 in Big 12 last year are in the Top 10

So there's hope when Oscar gets one good team out of his Wade, Brown, Kam class?

When I'm watching these games the last thing I'm thinking about is how good the conference kenpom is. Really, who gives a crap?

Not following college basketball much the last few years has really set me up to get blindsided by tech being the crap this year

I am pretty impressed with Chris Beard.  Texas Tech is his first Power 5 job.

It's a great, fun league. Best I've ever seen.

Everyone can beat everyone.

Young is the best player I've seen in a long time.

i had predicted it to be flat and it is
a lot of pretty good teams and a couple really good teams

overall I don’t know if it’s the best i’ve seen compared to the 06/07 durant/ku league

What are you talking about? Last year the conference champ lost two games and won the league by four damn games. I bet you every dollar I got that won't be close to happening this year. I bet everyone has two losses by the end of the month.

I'm not sure the top is really great this year, that's not what I'm saying. I just know there aren't any dreadful teams this year.

NBA Twitter goes bezerk whenever Trae Young plays. He may have the highest usage rate in kenpom history. I only watched the second half of his WSU game but he's pretty special

I've watched him several times. His 40.5% Poss% is the highest in kenpom, a couple guys had 38.9%. He's made or assisted on 58% of OU's made FGs. That is crazy.

kenpom.  it'd be more reliable than my eyes even if i'd seen every game.  and isu is worse than any team was last year.

True. OU/UT only dropped into the 80s at their lowest points last year.
