Big 12 Power Index: Moment of truth arrives with Kansas-Baylor

The moment of truth is here, at least in regards to determining which team is best in the Big 12 this regular season — and perhaps the entire country.

Around the time that West Virginia and TCU tip off, the showdown between No. 3 Kansas and No. 1 Baylor will be wrapping up and perhaps providing some clarity into which team will get the No. 1 overall seed in this year’s NCAA tournament.

The Bears will be favored, playing on their home floor in perhaps the most anticipated home game in the school’s men’s basketball history. Having already beaten the Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse, a win would all but wrap up the program’s first regular-season conference crown since 1950.
