20. Texas (NR): The Longhorns have had consistently good play from Andrew Jones (pre injury), Dylan Osetkowski and Kerwin Roach. But no one on the Longhorns can be as much a difference maker when he’s on as Mo Bamba. He was on in the win over Alabama in Birmingham with 17 points, 11 boards and five blocks in the 15-point victory. Bamba can be the difference if he can handle the physicality of Udoka Azubuike in the Big 12 opener against Kansas Friday.
