Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence, Kansas
Oklahoma (20-7)
Kansas (21-6)

Spoiler!

After Saturday's blowout win over Texas, Kansas has beaten every team in the Big 12 at least once, but it hasn't yet clinched a conference title. The eighth-ranked Jayhawks will get a chance Monday night in Lawrence to extend their dominance over Oklahoma while also trying to wrap up at least a share of their 10th straight regular-season crown. "That was our first goal to start the year off - to win a 10th straight Big 12 Championship," said freshman guard Frank Mason after scoring 14 points off the bench in the 85-54 home win over the Longhorns that avenged a Feb. 1 defeat. "That's still our goal. Right now we are taking it one game at a time so we can reach that goal and keep making history." Only UCLA, Gonzaga, Connecticut and UNLV have won at least 10 straight conference titles. The Jayhawks (21-6, 12-2) have won three straight and have a three-game lead over Oklahoma (20-7, 9-5), Texas and Iowa State with four games to play. They ended Texas' bid to climb within one game of them very early Saturday, jumping out to a 46-18 halftime lead with Andrew Wiggins scoring 15 of his game-high 21 points in the opening 20 minutes. The freshman is averaging 19.0 points on 58.8 percent shooting in the last three games. "We wanted to come out aggressive," said Wiggins, who is averaging a team-high 16.4 points. "Last time we got embarrassed at their place. We wanted to do the same thing to them, win every minute of every possession." He'll look for a similar individual bounce-back effort against the Sooners. Wiggins was held to nine points on 2-of-9 shooting in a 90-83 win at Oklahoma on Jan. 8. Backcourt mate and fellow freshman Wayne Selden Jr. led Kansas to that victory with a season-high 24 points while forward Perry Ellis added 22. Oklahoma was led by Cameron Clark's career-high 32 points, and leading scorer Buddy Hield (16.7) added 18, but Kansas shot 54.7 percent to overcome the high-scoring Sooners. At 82.8 points per game, Oklahoma trails only Iowa State in the Big 12 in scoring and is the only team in the conference with five players averaging in double figures. The Sooners pulled into a tie for second in the conference Saturday with an 86-73 home win over Kansas State. They too jumped out to a huge halftime lead, 41-22, to avenge a Jan. 14 loss at Kansas State. Hield had 18 points while Isaiah Cousins chipped in 17 to lead Oklahoma to its third win in four games. It'll now go for its third win in four games against top-10 opponents with both teams getting just a day of rest. "It's the nature of Big 12 play. All year long - we have played 14 now - and it seems like every time we have finished a game we are looking at another real good team a few days later," Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. "This time is a little quicker than that and it's against a really good team. Kansas, I think clearly is one of the best teams in the country. Allen Fieldhouse is a great place to play and a great atmosphere. Our guys have a ton of respect for Kansas, but athletes look forward to those types of challenges." Kansas has won 12 straight home games against Oklahoma and 11 of the last 12 overall in the series.

The strange part is the assumption that ISU isn't winning out, yet they're still getting a 2 seed... or else they would have gotten a 1 seed, right?

I've read his post a few times, and still have no idea what the **** he's trying to say. Why the **** would we want to lose out?

Well we have more top 25 wins than anyone, including you. So no, a 2 seed isn't crazy. 3 might be most likely though.

ISU should really be a 1 seed if you ask me.

If there's a "next year potential" ranking that goes into seeding, they're pretty much a lock for #1 overall.

Definitely. Next year is their year. I should head over to chiefsplanet to discuss this.

Overall. If I was an ISU fan, and didn't get a #1 seed I would boo the crap out of the committee for not doing their due diligence.

BOOOO

1 seed isn't even happening for us in the Big12 unless you lose out and we win out. So like I said earlier, I hope you win out to help us get the 2 seed.

Like Bearcat said, the funny thing is that you think they are even remotely close to the discussion for 1 seeds. You should be thankful for a 3.

Also, Syracuse loses twice in a week including a horrible loss to BC and drops 3 spots in the AP & 4 in the coaches.
