Arizona is going to be contending for a Big 12 title in their first year as a member of the conference. That's the type of program Tommy Lloyd has built in his short time in charge, having already taken the Pac-12 by storm with two regular season titles and two conference tournament titles during his first three years on the job before they moved conferences ahead of this campaign.

John Calipari, another Hall of Fame coach, brings No. 18 Arkansas to The Garden to face Michigan in the second game of the Jimmy V Classic doubleheader on Dec. 10. Calipari is in his first season with the Razorbacks after leaving Kentucky last spring.
