Preface: Basketball outside of the Power Six Conferences is very strong this year with some players that are making a lot of contributions and living up to some high expectations. These players are demonstrating consistency that many and most of the standout players in the Power Six Conferences struggle to do. Some may argue about level of competition, but consistency is hard to maintain on any level in college basketball.
