If Iowa State can get a 2 or 3 seed in the Big 12 tourney, I think I am picking them to win the Big 12 tournament. Having to play Kansas in the semis will be a bad matchup.

I think we match up personnel wise with KU better than we do against WVU or Baylor. But I'd rather have the 2 or 3 seed for the first round match up. No easy path this year, so it'll be play well or go home either way.

Thanks to everyone for participating. :)

If it's practical for me to do a comparison chart, I will, otherwise, I'll list the picks by alpha-order of screen names, probably late-Monday.

Participants in Central Time Zone have about 73 minutes to revise picks, if you want. ;) Eastern Zone -- 13!

List of contestant picks are posted in first two slots of thread (too lengthy to fit into one post). Notify me if I left anyone off the list. Instead of doing a cross-off when teams are eliminated, I'll probably just wait and bold the winning teams as they qualify.
