Big 12's Styles Unveiled: Utah's Arrival Adds Another Dimension

Associated Press  

Four new schools join the Big 12, and Utah believes it can succeed right away. The Big 12 got seven teams in the NCAA Tournament last year, but only Texas and Baylor reached the Sweet 16 and only the Longhorns — now in the SEC — made it to the Elite Eight. In all, the league went a pedestrian 10-7 in the NCAA tourney. The Utes and the rest of the new teams certainly have work to do, but Utah has a strong foundation and a bevy of returning talent, led by preseason All-Big 12 forward Gianna Kneepkens.
