My friend Grant has a theory, and I think it’s a pretty good one:
Yearly reminder...if anyone is going to break KUs title streak, said team must remain undefeated at home. Only until KU loses conf at home are you back in it. Most years that never happens.
Eliminated from conference title contention after 1 game: OSU, ISU, Texas— Grant Thome (@GTCat_EMAWdio) December 30, 2017Well, after round one, only Texas Tech held serve at home, meaning that four teams have an uphill climb with 17 games to play. That being said, I think this is as wide open as the conference has been in a decade, with every team capable of winning on any given day, and all ten looking like potential tourney teams.
