Posted February 28, 2011 by Berry Tramel Comment on this article Leave a comment

Big 12 basketball is down to its final week, so the rankings based on home/road scheduling success have played out. Every school has one road game and one home game left, so the standings are what they are. Our final rankings will be based on expected finish:

1. Texas 12-2, 24-5: The Longhorns have the tiebreaker over Kansas. KU has the most difficult game — at Missouri — but UT has the next two toughest games. Home against K-State, then at Baylor.

2. Kansas 12-2, 27-2: KU has won six straight Big 12 titles and will claim seven even if it ties the Longhorns.
