The predicted line for the KU-UT game tonight was 6.3 (14.1-3.9-3.9 for home court). The actual line was a5.5. Not bad.The Big 12 has six teams in in the latest Bracketology- Kansas (1), Texas (2), Kansas St. (4), Texas A&M (6), Baylor (7), and Oklahoma (9). That's gotta be their max, and Oklahoma (3-5 in the B12) is pushing it, especially with Longar Longar out indefinitely. Five is probably more likely than six. The over/under was 5.5.
This conference recently passed the Pac-10 in the Pomeroy conference rankings. Here are the top 10:
I think these are very accurate. The top two are clear. The ACC is so strong at the top, and Clemson is really coming on strong of late (well, except for minutes 46-50 against UNC). There's then another drop before the BE & B10. (Is Purdue actually the best team in that conference? We'll get a better idea Tuesday night, as they host Michigan State). Finally there's another dropoff before we reach the SEC, which really has one good team (Tennessee), and about six more that aren't bad but it's hard to get excited about.The number of teams these conferences get into the tournament isn't going to match up with this order at all. The SEC currently has six teams getting in, but five of them are 7-10 seeds (Tennessee is a 1). The average seed of the six ACC teams is 7.5; that number for the B12, getting the same number of teams in, is 4.8.

KSU and TT is a big match-up tonight. I'm thinking Pat Knight may pull off his biggest victory to date.
#18 Kansas State at Texas Tech (ESPN2 | 9 PM ET)
Pat Knight is still looking for his first win since taking over for his father, former Texas Tech head coach Bob Knight. The younger Knight has lost his first two games and will have to now focus on stopping arguably the best player in the country - Kansas State freshman Michael Beasley. “I kind of got baptized by fire,” Knight said. “But the only bad thing is, I come off the road and now I’ve got to go face Michael Beasley. So it’s still not getting any easier.” EDGE: KANSAS STATE
Beasley has led the Wildcats to the best record in the Big 12 so far this season, averaging 25.2 points and 12.3 rebounds per game. He already has a school-record 19 double doubles. EDGE: KANSAS STATE
Kansas State is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 games overall.
Texas Tech is 6-3 ATS in its last 9games overall.
Home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10meetings.
