Before the season, I was presented with the question: Which teams would represent the Big 12 in the NCAA Tournament? I refused to answer at the time, wanting to have the time to evaluate the league’s new faces. Now a month into the season I have better idea of which teams from the conference will need to get their dancing shoes fitted. I’m no Joe Lunardi, but I will attempt to do my best impersonation and will do so at the end of every month leading up to the big dance. One might ask how I will field my projections. Well it’s a very “Scientific” formula that I have never shared with anyone until now. What for it…here it is record, stats and the all-important eye test. I must apologize for my lame attempt to humor, but I’m not one to get into all the specifics in terms of stats. There are four stats that I feel are more telling of a team’s season like rebounding margin, offense and defensive field goal percentage, and assists per game. But when it comes down to it the number of quality wins will determine a team’s fate no matter how they got the W’s.

As of today, Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State and Oklahoma State would make the field of 68. I look for Iowa State to be in the picture soon.
