Sweep

I think a sweep is very possible. The toughest big 12 win would be the Baylor game. But i've watched a lot of Big 10 basketball this year and they're most consistent at being totally inconsistent. Purdue lost to Mizzou who lost to Baylor...

I dont think

Texas or Kansas are good bets with the spread. Once the spread gets that high you run into things like resting your starting 5 for the end of the game or coaches who don't want to run up huge leads.

Kstate will have its hands full

USC is a tough draw for an inexperienced team such as Kstate even with Beasley and Walker

KState will probably lose that game

The only way they win is if Bill Walker has a big game.

Exception

Horns don't blow anyone out

OU would disagree this past weekend.

Disclaimer: I may be wrong.

St. Joe's

I really like St. Joe's straight up. We know this OU team struggles, other than the good Griffin. St. Joe's shoots the 3 well, has played better lately, etc. I just see it as a game that I wouldn't pick OU in at all.

With Texas, they are playing a team that has no starters taller than 6-5. We may not be the strongest down low, but that certainly doesn't scare me. Damion will be able to shoot all night over the D, and AJ and DJ may actually face some guards they can get easy shots off on. Anyway, I think we probably win by 20+. AP thrives on forcing turnovers, and we are excellent at not turning the ball over.

i like st. joe's a lot too

Watched a lot of both St. Joe's and OU. OU is miserable and St. Joe's has enough big bodies to bang with them. Better coach + better shooters + equally stingy defense = 'upset'.
