Like Michigan in the Big Ten, Arizona spent most of the season at or near the top of the rankings, and the top spot was tossed back and forth like a little football...err, like a bounce pass.
In addition to Arizona, who looks like a tremendous play as a favorite, we've had teams highly ranked for most of the season.
Defending national runner-up Houston has been playing its best basketball late in the season in recent years, while Iowa State and Kansas have spent some time in the top-10, and at times, look capable of beating anybody. BYU has the dominant A.J. Dybantsa, but we'd feel a lot better if Richie Saunders hadn't gone down with a season-ending injury.
However, one team looks like a huge value more so than the others, and that's Texas Tech. It did lost the final two games, home to TCU, and at BYU. The Red Raiders have the makings of at least a Sweet Sixteen team, but they also have the makings of that 3-seed who loses to a 14-seed, too. They're so erratic. This is a team which has beaten Arizona on the road, Iowa State on the road, BYU, Duke and Houston, too. But, the Red Raiders were dusted by 30 against Purdue, and it lost to Arizona State and UCF.
For the chance to multiply up by 17 times, Texas Tech has the goods to win the conference tourney, even if JT Toppin isn't walking through that door.
- Pick to win Big 12 Tournament: Arizona +110
- Best Big 12 value pick: Texas Tech +1700
