Four-star RB J’Marion Burnette has recently announced his commitment to Houston, marking a significant development for the football program. In the world of college basketball, the Big 12 conference has become a battleground of intense competition, with no team escaping unscathed. Every team in the Big 12 has at least three losses in conference play, making it a challenging task to make sense of the current standings.
One of the most highly anticipated games in the Big 12 was the clash between No. 4 Houston and No. 8 Kansas. Despite being considered the underdog in the betting odds, Kansas dominated the game, shooting at an impressive 69% from the floor. The victory over Houston has propelled Kansas to a tie for first place in the conference, setting the stage for an upcoming rematch that could determine the Big 12 champion for the season.
The emergence of Johnny Furphy as a significant scoring option has bolstered Kansas’ performance in recent games, adding depth to their lineup. However, questions remain about their depth and performance in road games. On the other hand, Houston’s loss to Kansas does not diminish their standing, considering the formidable challenge of playing in the intense environment of the Allen Fieldhouse.
Meanwhile, the game between Baylor and another ranked team lived up to the high expectations, with Baylor securing a lead at halftime. The intense competition in the Big 12 has made every game a thrilling spectacle, showcasing the remarkable talent and determination of the teams.
The Big 12 conference continues to be a jumbled cluster of highly competitive basketball teams, making it an exciting and unpredictable season for fans and analysts alike. As the season unfolds, the race for the conference title is heating up, promising more thrilling matchups and intense showdowns in the coming weeks.
