Pac 10 will come in trying to run and gun their way to the final four. What they don't realize is that the 4 Big 12 teams can run and shoot with anyone. The X Factor will be the tenacious defense and rebounding of the Big 12 school. Our conference prides itself on D and Rebounding, we alll know we can run and gun with just about anyone. Maybe Maryland and Duke in a class of their own but the Big 12 matches up very strong against the Pac 10 style. They want to run and gun they play right into our hands. Kansas by far has the most difficult matchup playing a Big 10 team that will get after the glass and clamp down on Defense.
