Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd knows there are 'rough seas ahead' in a Big 12 that is as deep as ever
Arizona is the preseason Big 12 favorite again as Tommy Lloyd cites a deeper league with returning stars, freshmen and transfer eligibility questions.
- Arizona was selected as the preseason champion in the Big 12 conference poll, with the Wildcats returning a talented roster after winning regular-season and tournament titles last year.
- Projections suggest the conference could send at least 10 teams to the NCAA Tournament, a depth that coaches warn will create significant competitive challenges throughout the season.
- Top freshmen Caleb Holt arrives at Arizona as one of the nation's top prospects, while Kansas added Tyran Stokes; BYU bolstered its roster with transfer Collin Chandler from Kentucky.
- Coaching changes define the preseason, with Randy Bennett returning to Arizona State, Jerrod Calhoun taking over Cincinnati, and Casey Alexander leading Kansas State. Bennett, a Mesa native, returns home.
- Wildcats coach Tommy Lloyd anticipates "rough seas ahead" in the deepest conference field in years, while Horned Frogs coach Jamie Dixon said teams must be "strong enough" to handle success.
