Eight for the Big 12

There are some projections that have as many as eight teams from the Big 12 reaching the NCAA Tournament.
At this point, that might not be out of line.
Three of the top 10 teams in the country are in the Big 12. Two teams, that would be favored to reach the Final Four, are leading the way.
Kansas and Texas would appear to be decent bets to reach March as top seeds. And, Kansas State looks to be no worse than a three seed.
After that, there's a handful of teams that should fir into the picture somewhere.
That group includes Oklahoma State. The Cowboys have already beaten Kansas State (on the road) and two other probable NCAA teams (Texas Tech and Texas A&M) at home. Baylor seems like a worthy team and Missouri has done enough to be in the conversation.
This could end up being one of the best seasons ever in the Big 12.
There's still a lot of season left. But, at this point, the Big 12 may rival the Big East as the king of college basketball this season.

At the time of this blog Texas Tech was not a probable NCAA tournament team and after their loss to A&M today they're still not. Why make stuff up?
