Today was Media day for the Big 12 in Kansas City. In this thread I'll be posting some news, quotes and notes I run across as the articles come in.

First from kctv5 out of KC.

10:37 a.m. - Chemistry is "huge" for Oklahoma this season, according to head coach Jeff Capel. Capel said his team developed chemistry over the summer and expects for his team to be cohesive when they take the court.

Along with Perry Jones at Baylor and Josh Selby at Kansas, OU features a heralded freshman in guard/forward Cameron Clark. The 6-6, 190-pounder was a top 40 recruit by most services and Capel said he looks forward to coaching him.

"I love his attitude and I love his approach," Capel said. "He wants to be a good player, but knows he's not there yet. He allows himself to be coached."
