Big 12 Basketball Rules the Day – February 10

There are seven Big 12 basketball games on today’s schedule. That means that all 14 Big 12 basketball teams are in action. That’s important because the conference is one of the elites in college basketball. Six of the conference’s 14 teams are ranked in the latest AP Top 25 poll. No. 4 Kansas and No. 5 Houston are both eyeing No. 1 seeds in the upcoming NCAA tournament. There could be 11 Big 12 basketball teams that make March Madness.

Only West Virginia (8-14, 3-6) and Oklahoma State (10-13, 2-8) are out of any postseason tournament action. They are the only two Big 12 basketball teams with losing records this season. Houston (20-3, 7-3) holds a half-game lead over No. 13 Baylor and No. 14 Iowa State, both of which have identical 17-5 records overall and 6-3 records in Big 12 play. Kansas is actually a full game out of first place at 6-4 in conference play and 18-5 overall.

Big 12 Basketball Today

The big matchup today in Big 12 basketball pits No. 13 Baylor at No. 4 Kansas. The Jayhawks are coming off a loss to in-state and Big 12 rival Kansas State. One thing that the Jayhawks do very well under head coach Bill Self is bounce back from losses. After a loss, Kansas is 52-29-3 ATS under Self. That is a hit rate of 64 percent. You can break it down a little further and find the Jayhawks are 34-20-3 ATS in Big 12 games after a loss.

After a home conference loss, Kansas under Self is 19-10-2 ATS. The Jayhawks are already 2-1 ATS in this situation this season and Baylor head coach Scott Drew does not like playing at Allen Fieldhouse. He’s 1-14 SU there in his career. Kansas is a 6-point favorite over the Bears today. Our Sports Hub handicappers will be dialed into this game as well as the rest of today’s Big 12 basketball schedule.

Coaching Moves, Super Bowl Tomorrow

We are just one day away from Super Bowl LVIII. Sports Hub has you covered and we’ve been at it all week long with great content and our cappers have a number of picks already available. Some of those picks are on Super Bowl props. There have been some coaching moves in both the NFL and college football that will impact next season. Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid will likely return, but not until the postseason.

Let’s look at what’s trending.

• Kelly to Ohio State: Bill O’Brien was hired to be the Ohio State offensive coordinator but then took the head coaching job at Boston College. To replace O’Brien, the Buckeyes hired UCLA head coach Chip Kelly. Kelly is known for his high-scoring and wide open offenses.

• Seahawks hire Grubb: Ryan Grubb will be the Seattle Seahawks new offensive coordinator. Grubb had been at the University of Washington with Kalen DeBoer and moved with him to Alabama. However, he will join new Seahawks head coach Mike McDonald back in Seattle.
• Embiid ready for playoffs: Sixers star and NBA-leading scorer Joel Embiid underwent surgery on his left knee and will likely miss the rest of the regular season. Team president Daryl Morey is hopeful that Embiid will be back and ready for this year’s playoffs.
