Big 12 Basketball preview

99 in 99: #16 Missouri Tigers

By

“40 Minutes of Hell” returns to the Missouri Tigers this season.  Mike Anderson has implemented a full-court, in your face, fast-paced style that has brought success to Mizzou.  That frantic approach along with a loaded recruiting class should have the Tigers in the thick of the Big 12 race. The Sports Bank’s “99 in 99” ranks the 72 power conference college basketball teams … [Read more...] about 99 in 99: #16 Missouri Tigers

99 in 99: #24 Texas Longhorns

By

Remember when the Texas Longhorns were 17-0 and the top ranked team in the country last season?  I will admit it; I was buying into the hype.  They looked like they were going to be a gimme to get to the Final Four with their well-rounded roster.  Instead, the Horns ended up losing eight of their final fourteens regular season games and were a one-and-done in the … [Read more...] about 99 in 99: #24 Texas Longhorns

99 in 99: #57 Texas A&M Aggies

By

Since going winless in the Big 12 during the 2003-2004 season, Texas A&M has not finished with a below .500 conference record.  They have appeared in the NCAA Tournament in each of the last five seasons, winning their first round game each time.  However, the Aggies have only once made it past the opening weekend.  Rather than turning the page this season though, the Aggies … [Read more...] about 99 in 99: #57 Texas A&M Aggies

99 in 99: #70 Colorado Buffaloes

By

In the summer of the mega-conference, Colorado was one of the few major programs to actually change affiliation.  This will be the Buffaloes final season in the Big 12 as they will become a member of the Pac-10.  You know, because Colorado hugs the Pacific Ocean… Nobody is sadder than the other Big 12 basketball teams who stomped all over the Buffs the past few seasons. The … [Read more...] about 99 in 99: #70 Colorado Buffaloes

99 in 99: #80 Oklahoma Sooners

By

Perhaps no college basketball team was more disappointing in the 2009-2010 season than the Oklahoma Sooners.  Now after a tumultuous off-season, it is back to the drawing board for Jeff Capel as an unexpected facelift is taking place in Norman. The Sports Bank’s “99 in 99” countdown ranks the 72 power conference teams and top 27 mid-majors in reverse power rankings order, … [Read more...] about 99 in 99: #80 Oklahoma Sooners

99 in 99: #94 Nebraska Cornhuskers

By

It is Nebraska's swan song in the Big 12 as they will be moving to the Big Ten for the 2011-2012 season.  For a team that has not won an outright conference title since 1916, the Cornhuskers have more times than not been an easy victory for their opponents.  Our 99 team college basketball preview in 99 days continues with their last hurrah.  Click here for The Sports Bank's … [Read more...] about 99 in 99: #94 Nebraska Cornhuskers

2009-2010 Big 12 Hoops Preview: Part 3 of 5

By

By: David Kay Part three of The Sports Bank’s Big 12 preview features three teams that tied for fourth place in the conference last season and who should all be dancing come March.  Teams 4-6 are still a level below the top three in the conference, but could possibly catch a Blake Griffin-less Oklahoma team for the third spot. Kansas State returns their talented backcourt … [Read more...] about 2009-2010 Big 12 Hoops Preview: Part 3 of 5
