#1: A Decade of Dominance for Kansas

Death. Taxes. Bill Self in the Big 12.  Ten championships in a row is an incredible feat in any conference, let alone one of the premier conferences in America. People forget that Kansas had five different guys starting on their Sweet 16 team last year who are all gone, including Ben McLemore who was a lottery pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

Kansas does not rebuild though, they reload (if ten straight championships didn’t tell you that already). Nadir Tharpe and Perry Ellis are the two players back with experience from last year, but the other three starters are freshman. Wayne Seldon Jr. is a likely lottery pick this year, while Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid are likely to be two of the top three picks (assuming Embiid’s back injury is not too serious).

Not only did the Jayhawks win another title, but also they played one of the hardest schedules in the history of the sport. They do have eight losses, but as long as Embiid is healthy Self will have his team on the short list of National Title contenders. Rock Chalk, Jayhawk.
