Big 12 is my specialty so I will post a pick on each game of the tournament.
Colorado -1 vs Texas Tech
Honestly, the eye test here, Colorado has looked like a solid team in spurts this year, where Texas Tech rarely ever impresses me. I think T Tech is even away from home despite a slightly better record that CU away from home. Colorado has won 3 straight, including dropping 101 on T Tech just days ago. Colorado was 5-1 vs the teams below them in the standings, they beat the teams they are suppose to, and will again today.
Missouri -9 vs Nebraska
My favorite of the day, this will be a beatdown, Missouri travels A LOT better. Game is in KCMO. Missouri will win by 15 plus here, especially after losing to KU last time out. Nebraska lost to MU by 15 and 17 this year, this game will be no different, if not worse.
OK State -6 vs OU
Oklahoma is bottom three in the conference without Willie Warren, cannot score with the big boys, even if this game is tied at half, expect OK State to pull away. OK State has been hot from 3 lately, I have watched each of their last 5 games and am confident they will win by 9-13 points here.
Iowa State +8 vs Texas
Texas is OVER RATED STILL! ISU gaining confidence after their last HUGE road win at K state. Barely lost to Missouri in Overtime the game before that,Texas is already thinking next game. Dont be surprised if ISU wins this game, and I would be willing to bet there are my ISU fans at this game than Texas fans. Texas beat ISU in their only matchup this year by 7 despite shooting 49% overall and 8 of 16 from 3 point range. Take the points here.
