TEAM	COMMENT
#1 Oklahoma State (11-1)	No games last week. The Cowboys take on Robert Morris (5-8) tonight, and open Big 12 play on Saturday at Kansas State.
#2 Iowa State (11-0)	When I was on the radio being interviewed by Dave Shultz (103.7 The Game) at the beginning of the season he asked my sleeper picks for the Big 12 this year, I answered with Iowa State & Oklahoma. It seems I may have been right. The Cyclones won the Diamond Head Classic tourney and remain undefeated for the year. ISU beat Akron 83-60 and Boise State 70-66 to take the title. DeAndre Kane took home the tourney MVP with 23 points (4-6 from downtown), 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal in the championship game. Next up is Northern Illinois (5-5) on Tuesday and Texas Tech on Saturday.
#3 Baylor (10-1)	No games last week. Up next is Oral Robert (6-6) on Monday and Savannah State (2-11) on Friday.
#4 Kansas (8-3)	No games last week. Some more difficult games ahead this week for the Jayhawks as they take on Toledo (12-0) tonight and #20 San Diego State (9-1) on Sunday.
#5 Texas (10-2)	No games last week. Up next for the Longhorns is Rice (5-6) tonight and open Big 12 play against Oklahoma on Saturday.
#6 Oklahoma (11-1)	No games last week. The Sooners play Louisiana Tech (10-3) and then Texas on Saturday.
