Big 12 Tournament: Preview
There might be as many as six teams coming out of this tournament if things go as expected—including four teams that only achieved .500 status in conference play. Head and shoulders above the rest of the field? Kansas and Baylor, who currently look to lock down No. 1 seeds in the NCAA tournament should things go chalk and they meet in the final. Third-seed Oklahoma and sixth-seed West Virginia should get into the Big Dance on their own merits, whereas Texas and Texas Tech are bubble teams currently projected to just squeak in. Last year’s champ, Iowa State, is only a nine seed this year and might be down to its fourth-string point guard.
