As the 2015-16 men's basketball season approaches, the Kansan's men's basketball beat writers ranked the Big 12 teams and gave their predictions for the First Team All Big 12 and First Team All-American picks, in addition to a few conference awards.
This year, the coaches picked the Jayhawks to finish atop the Big 12 for the 12th straight year, and similarly, they were the unanimous pick by our writers to finish atop the Big 12. Check out the rest of the predictions to the left:
