1 Texas (6) 72 25-5
(13-3)
7 After losing on a last second shot to A&M, the Longhorns quieted all doubters with a dominant win over OU. Texas is looking really good for the conference tournament.

2 Kansas 66 22-7
(13-3)
36 Young and improving rapidly, this will be a team that nobody wants to play in the Big 12 Tournament or the Big Dance. They've got nowhere to go but up.

3 Oklahoma 60 20-7
(11-5)
12 When Micheal Neal and Terrell Everett are on, this team is dynamite. When they aren't, this team is beatable.

4 Texas A&M 54 20-7
(10-6)
49 The Aggies deserve to make the big dance, but will they? If they get edged out by a MVC team, they only have their out-of-conference scheduling to blame.

5 Colorado 48 19-8
(9-7)
52 The Buffs still have a shot to dance with the Big Boys, but they must beat A&M in potential second round game.

6 Nebraska 38 17-12
(7-9)
111 The Huskers never had a player who consistently stepped up and carried the team. Jaric and Wilkinson had their moments, but in the end, they were more role players than stars.

7 Kansas State 35 15-12
(6-10)
94 The 'Cats can compete with teams, can they turn that into a nice run in Dallas?

8 Oklahoma State 27 16-14
(6-10)
90 This team is young, and scary talented. They could be the sleeper in the Big 12 tourney as they are out to prove something for themselves and could play inspired ball. Look for them to win at least one for the gipper.

9 Iowa State 25 16-13
(6-10)
84 Off-season mission: each post player gains twenty pounds, one offensive move, and a desire to rebound.

10 Texas Tech 24 14-16
(6-10)
145 Give the General some credit. It's easy to win when you've got enough McDonald All-Americans to start a restaurant (see: Bill Self), but the general had nothing this year. And somehow, he still won six games.

11 Missouri 11 12-15
(5-11)
133 Just when you want to put the Tigers down at the very bottom, they win a game. A nice job by Melvin Watkins in his interim position.

12 Baylor 8 4-12
(4-12)
155 This team showed as much heart as any other team in the Big 12 this season. They have so much upside, it's crazy. With a great recruting class coming in, and a full schedule next year, this team could be fighting for a top four position in the Big 12 next year.
