Big 12 Tournament Preview

What to Watch For
Can Texas or Kansas garner a #1 seed with a Big 12 tournament win?  Outside of this, Texas A&M is the only Big 12 team with a NCAA tournament bid on the line.  They may need a win over Kansas State to assure themselves a bid.  Baylor, Kansas State and Oklahoma are looking to improve their seeding with a strong showing.

What We're Rooting For
As a Kansas State fan, I'm hoping for a run out of the Wildcats.  At this point, they seem to be sitting at a #7 or #8 seed and each win could move them up another seed.  Also as a K-State fan, I'll have to take an anti-Jayhawk stance and hope they fall at some point during the tournament.

What Will Happen
Kansas and Texas are a step above rest of the league, so it won't surprise anyone to see them meet in the finals.  K-State has the talent to make a run, but have sputtered down the stretch.  Baylor is the other team capable of winning this tournament.  The Bears have a stable full of guards that can score and if they get hot, they can outscore almost anyone they are matched up against.
