In a few weeks, Big 12 preseason picks by major media outlets will be published. Three have already been offered. Bleacher Report, SB Nation and ESPN have released their picks. Here are BR and SB nation. I'm presenting only two, because I can't afford ESPN Insider.

Other than Kansas and Baylor, these two are very different. I don't know what to make of these differences.

B.R.

1. Kansas

2. Texas

3. Baylor

4. ISU

5. OU

6. TT

7. WVU

8. TCU

9. OSU

10. KSU

SB Nation

1. KU

2. ISU

3. Baylor

4. Texas

5. WVU

6. OU

7. OSU

8. TT

9. KSU

10. TCU

This will much clearer once the Non-Conference is done.

@KUSTEVE No matter how many we win, even all of them, those people will be back.

Philly did this, Why not one in front of the Field House next to Phogg for Bill when he wins #2.

@wissoxfan83 OMG. That's one of those that startle you. Yoda! I felt that way about Liberace and Weber.

This game can't come soon enough. I really hope that these young men have been told not to read the blogs. I'm sure before yesterday that Tyler Self never questioned the illegitimacy of his birth. This Conference season is going to be an all out war. Get used to it.

Is it safe to come back?

Vegas has this a Pick game. They did have us as a 7.5 favorite to beat OU. Big snow storm in Morgantown tonight, how many fans show up. Holly Rowe tweeted that she was stuck on the way to the game in a "White Out."

Jaybate's idea

10 Freshmen have started at KU since the Ring ceremonies began. Not all of them have been Big Men. All had learning curves higher than the last two Big names that have come to KU, Alexander and Diallo. Self will play and start Freshmen that have an understanding of what is needed to play for Bill Self. I'll take that stubbornness every day from Coach. KU has the reputation as "Big Man U." Why isn't your ideal coach at Kentucky playing his highly ranked Big man?
There is a Vitriolic attitude that stirs the pot of the Bucket boys and girls, when one states that his position is "Unassailable," and the continuing use of the word "Stupid" when referring to a decision that Coach has made.

Two years ago it was the blindness of not playing Greene. Last year the blindness of not playing Alexander. I really do fear the attacks next year when Perry and Wayne are gone. I feel that someone writes their certain arguments and then giggles when the expected response's come.

My own response...

@HighEliteMajor" Can you cite me one NCAA tourney winner that has done it this way? I couldn’t find one. I guess our 5 guys are so bad we can’t play them any significant minutes. Who does that reflect on?"

Cole Aldrich.

@jaybate-1.0 The philharmonic puts him in the D- League for six years.

@Bwag No, I could dunk as a Senior at 6'4", but I too started with a volleyball.

@HighEliteMajor Hey, now that you're back, how did coach do against OU? What things would you have done differently?

Welcome back. We were getting obituaries ready. By the way, this 5'7" white boy might be able to join the C5

I feel bad about starting this post. Way too early... but this just came out at 3p.m.

How much is the tournament driven by TV revenues? This is very early but someone wants this to happen again. I'd like to see it happen again but don't make all of this so obvious. This also looks as if it based on last weeks rankings, i.e., Virginia and Arizona.

No one can take this game off. Huggie always has the fastest, ball hawking teams in the country. He recruits to his style and the way he played. Hard to remember back that far when he was thin.

Good analysis. I was looking at who the top teams are and comparing them for the tourney. Arizona, who many predicted to be in the Final Four has landed on hard times. Two loses this week during which they had dropped at # 7 and then we find out that their leading scorer has just broken his hand. They will continue to be good only if they emulate the Chiefs with their (Next Guy Up) philosophy.

The strangest of strange in the Big 12 is that some of the Sports sites with Brackets have KSU and T Tech in the Tourney.

I was in the Naval Reserve color guard before the game so I got to watch from the front row when Sam Lacey Fouled out, Tiny Archibald fouled out and Bob Cousy was thrown out getting a double T and the Kings still went on to beat that Laker team in the Old Arena.

@wissoxfan83 Someone said they read one of his takes on the other site.

Worst 25 seconds of basketball this year.
