Chuck Carlton, Big 12 insider for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about college basketball and football during a live chat Thursday. Here are some of the highlights:
Q: Big 12 hoops is looking mighty strong (again) ... which means, surely, it (again) won't produce this season's national champion, right?! The agony ...
Carlton: That's the question now, isn't it? Does the double round-robin schedule represent too much of a grind come NCAA time? Oklahoma managed to reach the Final Four last year, so it can be done. But there are still doubts about how fresh Big 12 teams will be for the tournament.
