If you had to bet $10,000 of your OWN money on one Big 12 team to win it all this year, what team would you pick?
I've heard more than a few hosts on national radio/tv pick Houston to win it all but I think they might run into a late round game where their offense struggles (like it did vs Iowa State).
While Iowa State doesn't have a blistering offense...I would still pick them to go further than UH in the end....plus having their first 2 games in nearby Omaha...those games will give them nice home court advantage for this week's games.
Maybe the best chance for upsets and getting into the Sweet 16 or an Elite 8 is BYU...as they can get SOOOO hot from 3 and even if they shoot their average (around 33% in conf play), the VOLUME of 3's they shoot (approx 30 per game) lead to being #1 in conf play with 10 plus made 3's per game.
Bottom line...ANYONE but Texas...(hey...let UT win a few games to give future NCAA credits to the Big 12 since UT can't take those $$ credits with them to the SEC).
Place your bets (and don't tell your significant other unless you win).
