The Big 12 refuses to wait for the Big Dance. Nah, the conference would rather waltz -- or dab on 'em, if you prefer -- now.
Kansas and Oklahoma will joust in a Big Monday matchup (9 p.m. ET, ESPN) that should pit No. 1 vs. No. 2 in conference play for the first time since Wisconsin and Ohio State battled in 2007 -- assuming pollsters elevate both programs to the top slots following No. 1 Michigan State's loss at Iowa in last week's Big Ten opener.
Should that happen, Lawrence, Kansas, might feel like Houston. Final Four-like drama.
