Big 12 Basketball is among the best in the country. At least half the teams make the NCAA Tournament every year. Which teams have the ability to get there and advance this season?

Big 12 Basketball has many teams make it to the postseason each year. Seven teams made the NCAA Tournament a year ago. The only teams not to make it was; Baylor, Oklahoma State, and Iowa State. Each of those teams made it in 2017.

The fact that every team in this conference has made the big dance over the past two seasons is absurd. It just shows the depth of this talent each and every year.

Iowa State was the only team last season that wasn’t at least on the bubble to make the NCAA tournament. They finished with a 13-18 record, including 4-14 in conference play.

They went just 4-5 at home in Big 12 games which is surprising considering how tough it is to win in Ames, Iowa. They will be the main Big 12 team to have a big turn around in the 2018-19 season.

It does seem like the Big 12 won’t have as good of a season as the past couple of years. Many big name guys such as Devonte’ Graham, Trae Young, and Jevon Carter are gone.

All of these teams bring in talented guys who you might not know yet. Once Big 12 action comes around you will learn their names. These teams are gonna be really good, how good they can be is the question.
