Big 12 MBB Preview: Power Rankings Part 1
At this point we’ve looked at the Big 12’s new players and roster turnover/experience. Now we’ll try to sort out a preseason power ranking based on the apparent strength of each team’s top 8 players, starting with the bottom half of the league. Of course, many teams will rotate in 9 or more players, especially in the early part of the season. However, by March, most teams will have narrowed their rotation to 8 (or sometimes fewer) guys who they feel can be trusted with big minutes.
8. Texas Tech Red Raiders
2022-23 Record: 31-7 (Postseason NIT Champions)
Coach: Grant McCasland (First Season with Program; Career Record: 155-77 [66.8%]; Reigning Postseason NIT Champions)
