Big 12 Winner

Oklahoma State: Nash and Smart get a lot of attention, but Markel Brown leads the team in scoring. 

Big 12 Runner Up

Kansas: You can't count out Bill Self and the Jayhawks. 

Big 12 Sleeper Team

Baylor: Very talented team, but didn't quite live up to expectations. Their last win was a big one over Kansas.
