Why you shouldn't rule Baylor out of the Big 12 title race just yet -- even amid adversity

Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the league in a live chat Wednesday. Below are highlights, edited for clarity.

Who is your sleeper team in the Big 12 that could give Texas Tech, Kansas and Kansas State a run for a conference title?

Carlton: Well, once you've removed Texas Tech, Kansas and Kansas State from the Big 12 title discussion, you're pretty much left with Baylor. The Bears are 19-9 and 10-5 in the Big 12, tied for third with Kansas despite a host of injuries (Jake Lindsey, Tristan Clark, King McClure) plus Makai Mason playing hurt down the stretch.
