It's a big Tuesday for the Big 12.  The top four teams are facing one another.
One of Texas and Iowa State will keep pace by winning to go to 5-1, while the
other will pick up their second loss to go to 4-2.  Meanwhile, 5-0 Kansas is
in the Little Apple to take on 4-1 Kansas State.  If Kansas wins, we'll have
just one team chasing us for the time being, but if Kansas loses, there will
be three teams with just 1 conference loss, with potentially 2 more close
behind with 2 conference losses.

Kansas State dared to run with Texas, the highest scoring team in the conference,
and it worked.  The kittens scored 58 points in each of the two halves to win by
13, and the game was in Austin, no less.  Will the kittens dare to run with
Kansas?  The higher score totals of their West Virginia and Baylor games were
the result of overtimes, while in their last two games, the kitten's offense
generated fewer than 70 points, so the Texas game sort of stands out as more
of an anomaly.

Dunkel is the only contrarian, picking the kittens to win by 2 points.  Everybody
else is picking Kansas, by anywhere from 1 to 4 points.  Even the common opponent
comparison, based on only two games, is picking Kansas, but by just a single point.

Both teams have positive trends, though neither is statistically significant.  The
mental toughness values have opposite signs, but again are not statistically
significant.

Kansas played both of the last two games below expectation, but still won both
games.  That's now 8 below-expectation games for Kansas and 9 above-expectation
games.  Meanwhile, Kansas State has played 11 above-expectation games and only 6
below-expectation games.  They're due for more below expectation games, though the
most recent loss at TCU falls into that category.

Rock Chalk!
