Big 12 play has opened and we have already seen numerous games coming down until the final moments in the deepest conference in college basketball. Ten of the fifteen games so far have been decided single digits, seven of which have been decided by 4 points or less. Eight of the ten teams are currently in the top 100 of the RPI and all eight still have hope of earning a trip to the NCAA tournament.
Currently, the Big 12 appears to be separated into three tiers. At the top, Baylor, Kansas, and West Virginia seem like the favorites to compete for the league title this season.
