The Weekend in Big 12 Basketball

Conference play has begun!  And, man, HOW AWESOME IS IT?!  No more directional colleges on the docket.  No more "perceived" rivalries.  Now we get down to the nitty gritty.  To quote Jay Williams during half of the Mizzou-Kansas State game "It doesn't matter what you did in pre-conference.  All records are wiped and now you go out and play." (Which is good news for KU, who lost their first game of the season, albeit to a non-conference opponent.)

Over the weekend there were 5 conference match-ups and 2 inter-conference games. See the recap of all the games after The Jump.
