#BIG 12 CONFERENCE COLLEGE BASKETBALL TEAMS FREE#

That day the Cowboys made 11 of 21 three-pointers and 23 of 26 free throws, but they have been unable to duplicate that efficiency. But the only time they were able to break through was that inexplicably one-sided victory over Kansas. The Cowboys have played some of the top Big 12 teams tough, losing by two to Oklahoma, by four to Baylor and by five to Iowa State. With Forte on the sidelines, Oklahoma State lost nonconference games to George Mason and Missouri State, which are a combined 18-29 now. He has not played since and is unlikely to play again this season. Things started going sideways for the Cowboys in the third game when their best player, guard Phil Forte, suffered an elbow injury. It is also the reason Oklahoma State is ninth instead of 10th in the Big 12 power rankings, because the rest of the season has been a bad dream. 19 stands out as a beacon of hope for Oklahoma State. Worst Losses: George Mason, Missouri State Whether coach Trent Johnson will be around to see it through remains a question. The Horned Frogs' top three scorers (Malique Trent, Chauncey Collins and Vladimir Brodziansky) are all sophomores, so TCU has the potential to improve in the near future. The Horned Frogs cannot hide the fact that they are among the nation's worst in field-goal percentage (41.1) and turnovers (14.3 per game) and are not much better in rebound margin (minus-1.5 per game). 16 home game against Kansas State appears to be its only reasonable chance for a victory in its final seven games. But any time a Big 12 team loses at home to a Summit League opponent who held a 22-point lead with less than 15 minutes left, it is cause for concern.ĭespite the recent victory over Oklahoma State, there is little reason to believe things will get much better for TCU this season. The Horned Frogs' early-season loss to South Dakota State is not as bad as it seems, since the Jackrabbits are 19-5. Although the Horned Frogs lost to SMU by just five, they lost to Baylor by 28, to Oklahoma by 23, to Kansas by 19, to Texas by 17 and, in the most significant blowout, by 21 in the earlier game against Oklahoma State. Finally, TCU has been blown out of a lot of games. Second, the Horned Frogs' one-point victory over Texas before the Longhorns got rolling is less impressive than Oklahoma State's win over Kansas. However, three factors kept the Horned Frogs at the bottom: First, Oklahoma State has a marginally better RPI than TCU. TCU and Oklahoma State split their games with each other, and each won one game against one of the conference's elite teams. The two cellar-dwellers have identical overall and conference records. TCU had the bottom spot in the Big 12 power rankings wrapped up until it beat Oklahoma State on Monday, making the distinction between the Horned Frogs and Cowboys unclear. 1 team last.Īverage Projected NCAA Tournament Seeding: None Teams are presented in ascending order of their conference power ranking, with the No. and provide the statistics, and is the source for RPI. The statistics and RPI used are based on games played through Feb. More weight is given to recent results, as they provide a better indication of how a team is playing at the moment. Our power rankings are based on six factors: overall record, conference record, AP ranking, RPI, the quality of the opposition and projected NCAA tournament seeding as determined by an average of the seeds in the projected tournament fields of Jerry Palm of and Joe Lunardi of (as of Feb. 9, three teams are tied for first, and three others are just one game behind in the loss column with seven or eight conference games remaining for each team. More difficult is the task of ranking the teams within the conference. With six of its 10 teams ranked in this week's Associated Press poll, including three in the Top 10, the Big 12 has a strong argument that it is the best basketball conference in the country this season.
