From A (Atlanta, Final Four host) to Z (Zeller), plenty to anticipate in 2012-13 hoops season
Excerpt:Kentucky has another great freshman class. Indiana is on top of the preseason poll for the first time in 33 years. There was a lot of conference movement — again — and there's more ahead. As usual, college basketball is changing and staying the same. Welcome to 2012-13. Seven months ago, Kentucky walked off the court in New Orleans with its eighth national championship. The top six players from that team are gone — all drafted by the NBA, including freshmen Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist as the top two picks. John Calipari has the same problem this season — a Wildcats roster loaded with freshman talent. Instead of meeting Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague quickly and saying goodbye as freshmen first-round draft picks, the names this season to learn in a hurry are Nerlens Noel, Alex Poythress, Archie Goodwin and Willie Cauley-Stein. "We're just so young," Calipari said.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
