No. 1-ranked Kansas has been a relentless force\u00a0this entire season, and winning its 13th-straight Big 12 regular-season championship in as many seasons under head coach Bill Self should serve as definitive\u00a0proof of the team&#8217;s dominance. From National Player of the Year Frank Mason III to his outstanding supporting cast with the likes of Josh Jackson, Devonte&#8217; Graham, Landen Lucas and Carlton Bragg Jr., the Jayhawks are ripe with top-notch talent that other schools can only envy of.<\/p>\n<p>What further increases the team&#8217;s\u00a0chances of winning yet another Big 12 title is the fact that this week&#8217;s tournament will be held in none other than good ol&#8217; Kansas City, giving the Jayhawks a virtual home-court advantage throughout the entire event\u00a0to rouse\u00a0even more anxiety\u00a0unto their opposition.<\/p>\n<h3>West Virginia Mountaineers\u00a0(<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\" target=\"_blank\">+200<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Big 12\u00a0record: 12-6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even without prolific star Jaysean Paige from last year&#8217;s campaign, West Virginia once again found itself\u00a0as the Big 12&#8217;s regular-season runner-up. This time around, it&#8217;s junior guard Jevon Carter who&#8217;s leading the\u00a0charge. Carter is this season&#8217;s Defensive Player of the Year with a conference-best 85 steals, and he&#8217;s also only the third player in Big 12 history to be named to three-consecutive All-Defensive Teams.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Mountaineers\u00a0proved earlier this season that\u00a0they&#8217;re the Jayhawks&#8217; worst nightmare\u00a0should they meet in the final round as many had expected. WVU&#8217;s stunning 16-point victory and the narrow five-point loss against Kansas this regular season are rather damning evidences that the Jayhawks are mortal after all.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sleeper<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-134537\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Baylor-Johnathan-Motley-Big-12-preview-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Baylor Johnathan Motley Big 12 preview\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Baylor-Johnathan-Motley-Big-12-preview.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Baylor-Johnathan-Motley-Big-12-preview-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Baylor Bears\u00a0(<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\" target=\"_blank\">+450<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Big 12\u00a0record:\u00a012-6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Behind\u00a0a solid defense that has allowed just 62.5 points per contest this season (18th in the nation), Baylor is another terrific foil to Kansas&#8217; wealth of firepower.\u00a0Junior forward Johnathan Motley, in particular, is a bona fide beast in the post, as his double-double averages of 17.5 points and 10 rebounds for the season is no fluke.<\/p>\n<p>Although the\u00a0Bears lost both of their meetings against Kansas this season and sputtered a bit in conference play after a scorching 15-0 start, they pulled through with crucial victories over non-conference standouts in Xavier, Oregon and Louisville. As such, the boys from Waco sure have the chops to stun the Big 12\u2019s two heavyweights on their path to the title.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Long Shot<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>Texas Longhorns\u00a0(<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\" target=\"_blank\">+3,000<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Big 12 record:\u00a04-14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, one of Texas\u2019 measly four wins in Big-12 play was against their first-round opponent this Wednesday, Texas Tech. However, the Longhorns also lost by 10 points to that same, mediocre Red Raiders team in their first meeting of the season, and they\u2019re also entering this week\u2019s tournament with a dismal seven-game losing streak.<\/p>\n<p>Lack of experience and backcourt depth ultimately served as the real downfalls for head coach Shaka Smart and his boys, and there\u2019s not a whole lot of other bright spots to be found in these Longhorns to put a more positive spin to their season that\u2019s pretty much about to be wrapped up with an inevitable first-round exit from the tourney.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Complete Big 12 Tournament Odds<\/strong><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"319\">Kansas\u00a0&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\">+110<\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"319\">West Virginia &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\">+200<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"319\">Baylor &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\">+450<\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"319\">Iowa State\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\">+650<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"319\">Oklahoma State\u00a0&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\">+1,200<\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"319\">Kansas State\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\">+2,500<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"319\">Texas &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\">+3,000<\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"319\">TCU\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\">+3,300<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"319\">Texas Tech\u00a0&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\">+3,300<\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"319\">Oklahoma\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\">+5,000<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><strong>Writer&#8217;s Prediction:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Kansas (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-conference-tournaments\" target=\"_blank\">+110<\/a>) breezes past its competition to win its seventh Big 12 title in the Bill Self era.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0win big from all the heart-stopping\u00a0March Madness action!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4zulQmTAVK722Nd7ZgqdRLk\/56\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-134651\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/March_Madness_News_Banners_620x110.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"134294\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,330&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike\u00a0in previous seasons, this year&#8217;s Big 12 tournament is the Kansas Jayhawks&#8217; to lose.
