Biggest pleasant surprise team in Big 12 basketball

Probably Mizzou, but KSU has been impressive with what they lost.

Flipside: Texas and BU have been dissappointing, I am sure BU will have a coming out party tomorrow night.

You are going straight to hell for that. Nothing KSU is pleasant. I even curse T. Newman now and then just because he was a KSU Wildcat.

Even having my HS mascot be the same as KSU keeps me up at night now and then.

Mizzu has really surprised me, but so has KU. Monday's game should be pretty good - but I think OU wins by about 10 if Blake plays.

FAIL

Considering we gave them their lone conference win.

I vote a tie between Mizzou & Kansas State....nobody else has really impressed me thus far....

Tough to separate one from the others but Mizz, KSU, KU and Neb are all blowing my mind.

Mizz-Outstanding year, can't say much else.

KSU-I thought Frank was a joke and I'll admittedly eat some crow for that. I do think their record is better than the team actually is, however.

KU-Bill Self isn't getting nearly enough credit for what he is doing this year.

Neb-Doc has proven to be a Big 12 caliber coach this year. If they land in the NCAAs it would be wrong in so many ways from an Iowa State fan's perspective.

I was referring more to the beating we gave them at home... any team that loses to us that badly is the definition of godawful.

Biggest surprise for me was that the Jayhawks bounced back like they did after losing practically everyone from last years team. Only one player that is still around that got non-cleanup minutes for most of the year and they are number 1 in the big 12 (OU is a better team if they had Griffin but in the standings KU is still on top).
