Big 12 basketball: Weekly rankings
Another Monday, another Big 12 basketball rankings, based on the schedule. Who has done what, and who has what left? Remember, the plus/minus is road wins added, home losses subtracted.
1. Kansas 7-1 (+3): The loss at Iowa State will keep the Jayhawks close to the pack.
2. Missouri 6-2 (+2): If Mizzou hadn’t won at Baylor, the Bears would be in the thick of the Big 12 race, and Missouri would be out of it.
3. Baylor 6-2 (+2): Baylor still has to go to Missouri, but the Bears get KU in Waco.
4. Iowa State 5-3 (+1): No surprise that the Cyclones beat Kansas in Ames; darn near beat the Jayhawks in Lawrence.
5. Kansas State 4-4 (even): Wildcats were swept by OU, but they’ve got a game lead on the Sooners, with very similar schedules the rest of the way.
6. Oklahoma 3-5 (-1): Sooners have some big home games coming up. Iowa State, Missouri, Texas and OSU the next 31/2 weeks.
7. Texas 3-5 (-1): Longhorns have been among the more predictable teams in the league.
8. Texas A&M 3-5 (-1): Goes to Stillwater on the final Saturday of the season; eighth place could be on the line.
9. Oklahoma State 3-5 (-1): OSU and A&M could play back to back. They appear headed for the eighth and ninth seeds in the Big 12 Tournament, which would mean a first-round meeting.
10. Texas 0-8 (-4): Might not win the rest of the way.
