Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the league in a live chat recently. Here are some of the highlights:
Question: Which Big 12 basketball teams do you think have the best chance of making it to the NCAA tournament?
Carlton: Let's face it, the Big 12 is probably going to put at least six and probably seven teams in the NCAA Tournament. Subtract West Virginia and Oklahoma State as contenders. That leaves eight teams competing for those spots. Or maybe that won't even be an odd-team out.
