The Big 12 Women's Basketball Season start on Saturday Dec 30th across the Big 12 with 7 games on the schedule. Below is the current overall standings, records, rankings of the fourteen Big 12 teams.

7 - Texas Tech --- 11-2 -------- NA --- NA ----- #55 Ranking ----- Houston, OSU, TCU, Cincy, Texas -------- 61.4
8 - Houston ------- 9-2 -------- NA --- NA ------ #91 Ranking ------ T-Tech, BYU, UCF, Baylor, TCU ---------- 52.4

14 - Oklahoma ---- 6-5 ----- NA --- NA ------- #83 Ranking ----- Cincy, K-State, Texas, Kansas, OSU ------- 45.2

This season with 14 Big 12 teams, each team plays every other team once (13 games) and then plays 5 of the teams a second time in a home-road format (5 games). The five teams that each team plays is shown above under "Home & Road Teams" on the right. The Average NET ranking of those 5 teams are on the far right. As you can see Texas, OU, Baylor, Kansas, K-State, Houston and WV have the 7 toughest draws for their extra 5 games.

On Saturday, this the first slate of games to be played.

West Virginia @ Kansas - Noon CST, ESPN+
Baylor @ Texas - 1 PM CST, FOX
Kansas State @ Cincinnati - 1 PM CST, ESPN+
UCF @ Oklahoma - 1 PM CST, ESPN+
Iowa State @ Oklahoma State - 2 PM CST, ESPN+
BYU @ TCU - 4 PM CST, ESPN+

[Edit- Texas Tech vs Houston - 1 PM CST, ESPN+ - Sorry I just forgot to list this one.]

The big game on Saturday is the Baylor at Texas game with two Top 10 NET ranked teams playing. The next most important game is the West Virginia at Kansas game. This game may tell us whether Kansas has earned their #43 ranking in the NET and if West Virginia, with their #29 NET ranking, can win a tough game on the road.

The two most 'even' matchups involve the Oklahoma teams. OSU will host Iowa State and Oklahoma hosts UCF. Both games are between two evenly matched teams per their NET rankings.

Kansas State should win over Cincinnati on the road, with TCU holding the advantage over BYU at home in Ft. Worth. That leaves Texas Tech playing at Houston in the remaining Big 12 game.

That is if the NET rankings are good reflections of the team's strength.
