79% Chance Of Winning the Conference (after OSU win)

[Zoltar]

Baby we can talk all night

2 out of 3 ain't bad.

[katlander]

If I could be guaranteed that KU would lose the conference if I was willing to sacrifice K-State's chances to win it I would have to think very hard and would probably take the deal. Our winning the conference this year is a win for the other 8 teams as well.

i think wvu will win the big 12 this year and have as good a shot as anyone to win it all. Team will be taller, faster, more athletic and deeper. wvu was best team in hoops last year for 35 minutes and then ran out of gas, that wont happen this year. Teddy Allen and a big man who played a lot were replaced with better athletes.

WVU does lose carter(taken 32nd in nba draft) and miles. However, they have a wealth of talent at guard this year, including some really good freshmen. Konate returned for 1 more year, and he dominated the backcourts last year. Now with a juco transfer wvu will have twin towers.

This is as good a team as huggins has ever had. the Mountaineers are 30-to-1. Duke is the current favorite (5-to-1), with reigning champion Villanova tied with Kansas and Kentucky at 8-to-1 not far behind the Blue Devils. Other Big12 teams in the list include Texas Tech (40-to-1), Baylor (80-to-1), Texas (80-to-1), TCU (80-to-1), Kansas State (200-to-1), Iowa State (200-to-1), Oklahoma (200-to-1), and Oklahoma State (300-to-1). you may want to lay a hundred or two on wvu to win it all.

Updated today. K-State has a 62% chance to win the Big 12. Tech sits at 19% and KU 15%. I thought during the Tech game last night they said with a win against the Jayhawks the Red Raiders chance went to 60%?

There is a huge difference in the chances of sharing the title and winning the title outright. KU has some chance of sharing the title, but little chance of winning it outright as of this moment. For KU to win an outright title, they would need KSU to lose three of four and Texas Tech to lose two of four in the remaining four games. Possible, but not very likely. They would also need Iowa State and Baylor to lose at least one more game as well -- though they play Baylor, so winning out would accomplish that.

As far as an outright title, KSU is the slight favorite over Texas Tech, and those are really the only two teams with much of a chance. The title will probably be shared, but KSU beating KU would obviously change that. KU is 15-0 at home this season. Terrible on the road, but good at home.

We should not be fooled into thinking that because KU played a late Saturday. road game, and we played at home that KU will be "tired". We will get their very best shot Monday. The only thing I'm concerned with is, will we give them ours. If we do, then we will win because I believe, for the first time in several decades, that we are the better team.

[Wyldkatz]

No doubt, KU will be on fire. We will get their best game of the year. And their place will be the loudest it's been all year. How we weather the first 10 minutes will be everything. I'm afraid this is gonna be one of those those, they cant miss and we cant buy one type games. Sadly, KU by 15 early and cruises by double digits the rest of the game. Prove me wrong!

As always in Lawrence, we will have to win with two of our key players on the bench with early questionable fouls.

They will be aggressive. That backfired against Tech, as numerous charging fouls were called in the first half against KU. They will get most of those calls Monday. It's hard to beat 8, but that's what we're faced with. The crowd will influence the officiating.
