Another Big 12 basketball regular season closed Saturday, which means another Big 12 basketball tournament is ready to dazzle the fortunate fans inside Kansas City's Sprint Center.
This looks like the country's best conference. And if that rings hyperbolic at all, consider this—nine of its 10 teams have either punched their NCAA tournament tickets already or have a chance to do so next week.
Oh, and the lone exception—Iowa State—upset three ranked opponents in conference play.
In other words, expect some appropriately timed madness in the near future.
With Saturday's four-game slate in the books, the brackets are set.
