What I knew all along:
-Kansas would capture its 7th straight Big 12 title, albeit a very tough road after trailing Texas by 2 games midway through the conference schedule.
-Rick Barnes would pull a Rick Barnes. The Longhorns started the Big 12 season 11-0 only to lay eggs against Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas State. Way to go, Rick.
-Kansas State wasn't as good as everyone wanted to believe. However, they did rally big time after starting 2-5 in conference play to finish 4th. It's not the season they hoped for, but a Big 12 tournament 4-seed is better than the NIT.
-Texas Tech isn't very good at basketball. Shocking, considering their ridiculous home atmosphere down in Lubbock.
I had no clue:
-Colorado would finish 8-8, good enough for a 5-seed in the Big 12 tournament. Tad Boyle can coach, so the Pac-10 better watch out. Also, Buffs guard Alec Burks will be in the NBA sooner rather than later.
Here's how they finished:
1) Kansas: (14-2) Predicted finish: (1st)
2) Texas (13-3) (2nd)
3) Texas A&M: (10-6) (4th)
4) Kansas State (10-6) (5th)
5) Colorado: (8-8) (10th)
6) Missouri: (8-8) (3rd)
7) Baylor: (7-9) (6th)
8) Nebraska: (7-9) (8th)
9) Oklahoma State: (6-10) (9th)
10) Oklahoma: (5-11) (12th)
11) Texas Tech: (5-11) (11th)
12) Iowa State: (3-13) (7th)
So I was perfect on 5 teams, within 1 spot on 3 teams, and missed badly on Colorado, Iowa State, and Missouri. I would predict the Big 12 Tournament which starts in 9 hours, but frankly, I don't care about conference tournaments.
