The nucleus of players that made the Mountaineers one of the darlings of college basketball for two seasons is gone, as is 82 percent of West Virginia's scoring. What's back: one starter (forward Frank Young) and Coach John Beilein's complex offensive system.
13. Cincinnati
Mick Cronin returns to his alma mater to provide some stability following a turbulent 2005-06 season. Only four players from that team are back -- only one of them (forward Cedric McGowan) averaged more than three points per game -- so Cronin loaded up with seven junior college players.
14. Rutgers
Ace recruiter Fred Hill gets his first head coaching job, replacing Gary Waters. His first task: Replacing the scoring of guard Quincy Douby, who left early for the NBA following a season in which he took 35 percent of his team's shots and scored 37 percent of its points.
15. Seton Hall
The Pirates were picked to finish in this spot a year ago, but shocked the conference with a seventh-place finish and an NCAA tournament bid. That wasn't enough to save former coach Louis Orr, and it might be too much to ask in Bobby Gonzalez's first season.
16. South Florida
