Baylor accomplished the feat this season going 4-0 against the top 10 teams. That’s thanks in large part to junior guard Jared Butler, who averages 17.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game.

That said, look for the usual suspects from Kansas (19-8, 12-6 Big 12) and West Virginia (18-8, 11-6 Big 12) to get in their way – not to mention talented teams such as Oklahoma and Texas.
