Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2024 10:29 am
Here are the current Big 12 Women's Basketball Standings and Rankings. (I will update the AP and Coaches rankings when they are published.)
1st - Kansas State ............ 7-0 ..... 18-1 ...... NET #8 ----> AP #4
2nd - Iowa State .............. 6-1 ...... 12-5 ..... NET #38 --> AP RV28
3rd - Oklahoma ............... 5-1 ....... 11-6 ..... NET #53
T4th - Texas .................. 5-2 ...... 18-2 ..... NET #2 ----> AP #10
T4th - West Virginia ......... 5-2 ...... 16-2 ..... NET #23 --> AP #24
6th - Baylor .................. 4-2 ...... 15-2 ..... NET #13 ---> AP #13
7th - Oklahoma State ...... 4-3 ....... 11-7 ..... NET #51
8th - Texas Tech ............. 3-4 ....... 14-6 .... NET #69
T9th - BYU .................... 2-5 ...... 12-8 ..... NET #94
T9th - Houston ............... 2-5 ...... 11-7 ...... NET #100
T9th - Kansas ................ 2-5 ...... 9-9 ..... NET #46
12th - Cincinnati ............ 1-5 ....... 9-8 ..... NET #110
13th - TCU ................... 1-6 ....... 14-4 .... NET #35 (Their two forfeits do not count against their overall record.)
14th - UCF .................... 0-6 ...... 9-7 ..... NET #90
In mid-week action the schedule for the Big 12 Women is below.
Monday - Jan 22nd:
Kansas State at Baylor - 7:30 PM CST - Fox Sports 1 - K-State is going to be without Ayoka Lee for about 3.5 weeks. Because of that, I think Baylor holds an advantage inside over K-State and that they can handle the guards of K-State. At home Baylor should win this game and give the Wildcats their first loss in conference.
Tuesday - Jan 23rd:
UCF at TCU - 6:30 PM CST - ESPN+ - TCU will be playing their first game in over a week after two forfeits due to a player shortage. UCF has a chance to win their first conference game in Ft. Worth. They should probably be able to do that. It will be interesting to see how many players that TCU suits up for the game.
Wednesday - Jan 24th:
Oklahoma State at Cincinnati - 5 PM CST - ESPN+ - Oklahoma State is 4-3 in the Big 12 and has a much better NET ranking than does Cincinnati. Cincy desperately needs a win at home. Maybe OSU can win on the road, maybe Cincy can hold home court. Toss-Up Game.
Houston at Texas Tech - 6 PM CST - ESPN+ - I think the Red Raiders win this game at home unless the two Houston guards Boyd and Blair have a big game for Houston. I pick Texas Tech in this one.
Oklahoma at Texas - 6 PM CST - ESPNU - Oklahoma is playing their second straight road game. I think Texas is playing better as they adjust to playing without Roni Harmon. Texas has good size and good players in the front court. I just do not think OU can handle the Texas bigs for 40 minutes. I dislike my conclusion on this game. I think OU drops this game in Austin.
Iowa State at Kansas - 6:30 PM CST - ESPN+ - The Cyclones can move into a first place tie with Kansas State if Baylor defeats the Wildcats and the Cyclones defeat Kansas. Kansas is playing at home and trying to be a factor in the Big 12 and must be disappointed to be 2-5 in conference play. Surprisingly, their NET rankings are within 10 points of each other.
West Virginia and BYU do not play a mid-week game this week.
