With one month left in the regular season, Kansas’s 14-year reign over the Big 12 is in serious jeopardy of ending. While the Jayhawks caught a severe case of the road blues in recent weeks, Kansas State cruised to the conference lead, punctuated by Tuesday's home win over KU. A pair of Big 12 teams sit one game back of the Wildcats in the loss column, while Chris Beard’s Texas Tech squad and the Jayhawks lurk at 6–4. Five Saturdays remain until the conference title is won. Can a favorite emerge before March?
Don’t expect the picture to get any clearer in the coming weeks.
