Predicting the 2012 Big 12 Tournament
By Ross
I know some of you really don’t want to see it, but I think Mizzou will win the Big 12 Tournament in their last year. However, I did have a hard time picking them over the Cyclones because Iowa State very well could have beat them twice in the regular season. Below is how likely I see each team winning the entire tournament.
Missouri – I truly believe that Iowa State may be Mizzou’s toughest test in the tournament. Missouri let one slip away against Kansas last time they played and I believe they get their revenge. 35% chance of heading to the SEC with the Big 12 title.
Kansas – Kansas was the best team in the Big 12 in the regular season and are favorites to win the tournament. Like I’ve said I like Mizzou if the two teams play. Kansas still has a great shot of winning it all. 25%
Iowa State – If they can beat Texas (which they should) and play Mizzou, I think it can be a real close game. If they can get past Missouri, Iowa State has already beaten Kansas this year as you know. 15%
Kansas State – KSU has defeated Missouri twice and Baylor once. Wouldn’t be shocked if they won it. 10%
Baylor – The Baylor-KSU should be a close and great game. Baylor has been in the top 10 for most of the year, but they are 0-4 against Kansas and Mizzou this year. 10%
Texas – Texas finished the Big 12 with a 9-9 record, but failed was 2-8 against the top teams in the Big 12 (Kanas, Baylor, K-State, Mizzou, and ISU). 2.5%
Oklahoma State – If Oklahoma State or another bottom half team in the Big 12 somehow wins the tournament, I would be extremely shocked. Highly, highly doubt that OSU will win it, but they have beaten Mizzou and ISU. 1.5%
Oklahoma – The Sooners did beat K-State twice. .8%
Texas A&M – The Aggies are currently on a 5-game losing streak. .2%
Texas Tech – I will do anything you want if Texas Tech even gets to the semifinals. .00000000001%
