Big 12 Basketball Predictions: A Great but Muddled League

As always, these are predictive. 

1) Houston

After an 0-2 start to conference play, the Cougars have won three in a row by at least seven points. The gauntlet of the Big 12 in February will be a unique challenge for the former American team. 

2) Kansas

There’s a gigantic advantage to playing at Allen Fieldhouse, and that helps KU edge out the others in a tier its far closer to than most years. Johnny Furphy has played outstandingly on offense.
