As the college basketball rankings rolled out on Monday, the world is starting to wake up to the reality of Big 12 basketball. The conference is very good, and very deep. A 7-1 record from Friday through Sunday helped propel half of the conference into the Top 25, including four Big 12 schools in the top five.
TCU got the weekend started with a 73-55 win over Prairie View A&M. Sophomore forward Vladimir Brodzainsky paced the Frogs with 16 points and 5 boards.
Oklahoma State escaped Minnesota with a 62-60 win over the Gophers thanks to a 12-point performance from Jeffrey Carroll.
