@Aimee, my girlfriend is a Baylor alum too. Class of ’06. She is quite excited too! I will be hearing “Sic ‘Em Bears” all night long now…

Works for me. Indiana is down to their last bullet tonight, so I will happily adopt Texas Tech and Baylor, with their Indiana ties, for the rest of the season. Maybe one of them can pull off the huge upset and make the Big Dance. It’s still early, but they’re still fighting at least.

I’m a Baylor alum (’98). I’m just so darn proud of them right now.

AHHHH! Sic Em Bears.

@Aimee, yes they did!

Wow. I predicted Kansas to lose…but not until the championship game. Way to go Scott Drew!

@micky, it’s definitely been an impressive year for Kansas. I think the highest seed they will get is a #2, but a Big 12 title certainly would give them at least an outside shot of a #1. I don’t think they get by Oklahoma though. With Blake Griffin healthy and surely motivated to avenge the loss earlier this year, I think Oklahoma comes away the champ.

I agree 100% with your take on Bill Self and my beloved Kansas Jayhawks! Having won a very competitive league while starting 3 true freshmen, 1 sophomore and 1 junior while having the bullseye on their back not only in conference but nationally as well might be his best coaching yet. Not to mention the bench players they bring in are mostly freshmen and a juco transfer. If the Jayhawks go on to beat a full strength Sooner squad and retain the Big 12 title they should then recieve serious consideration for a #1 seed in the big dance!!! Rock Chalk Championship!

@Richard, good question. I just moved down to Dallas and was not aware of the Big 12 Network. I figured the natives would know!

Anyway, here is a link I found that has some information which should help:

What is the ‘Big 12″ network? What channels are used to televise these games not on Espn? Thanks
