Big 12 Represents in NCAA Tournament Forecast

I'm back from the conference, and gently nursing myself through a bout of cold/flu with some help from my new best friend, Benadryll. I haven't been quite up to blogging for a couple days, but I thought I'd break my silence to point out that the first mock NCAA Tournament Bracket features six Big 12 teams. As predicted.

We'll see if the Big 12 gets a whopping 50% of its universities in, but things are looking good right now. Teams who are currently making the cut, with their projected seeds:

Kansas (1) - in the same bracket as #2-seeded North Carolina. I'd love to see that matchup.
Texas (3)
Kansas State (5)
Texas A&M (6)
Oklahoma (6)
Baylor (9)

Not bad at all.

  1. Thanks for the good story. Look out for the Pac-10's 6 entries.

    If the Big-12's six and the Pac-10's six met in a dark alley, I think I'd go with the Pac-10. They're mean.

  2. Since you mention the Pac-10...due to the "Big 12/Pac 10 Hardwood Challenge" this season, I tracked head to head match-ups between the conferences. Check 'em.

    KU over Arizona
    KU over USC
    USC over Oklahoma
    Oregon over Kansas State
    Kansas State over Cal
    Washington State over Baylor
    Iowa State over Oregon State
    Oklahoma State over Washington
    Cal over Missouri
    Nebraska over Arizona State
    Stanford over Colorado
    Texas over UCLA
    Arizona over Texas A&M
    Stanford over Texas Tech

    Tallied up, the games fall 7 and 7. So maybe we'll have to wait until the tourney to see who has the biggest chip on their shoulder. ;)
