Here are the slate of games for the Big 12 Women this weekend.

TCU at Iowa State - This game has been forfeited by TCU due to a lack of players due to injuries and illness.

Kansas at Kansas State - 1 PM CST on ESPN+ - Kansas needs a big win to get themselves going as they are now 2-4. They have some size to match with K-State's Lee. But Kansas State is more than just Lee. I will take K-State in this one.

UCF at Baylor - 2 PM CST on ESPN+ - I am confident that Baylor should this game at home.

Texas at OSU - 2 PM CST on ESPN+ - Both teams are 4-2 in conference. Can OSU play with the Longhorns inside? Probably not. I think Texas will win the game without too much trouble. That is unless that ole home court advantage kicks in and OSU plays lights out. But I doubt it.

West Virginia at Cincinnati - 3 PM on ESPN+ - This could another win on the road this weekend for WV as they should win over Cincy. But the home court advantage could affect this game. I am not convinced that Cincy can win this one.

Texas Tech at BYU - 5 PM on ESPN+ - BYU has not played well this season in conference. Tech is not a strong team either. BYU picks up a win as the home team probably.

Oklahoma at Houston - 6 PM on ESPN+ - The Sooners need a win to stay near the top of the conference. Houston is a much better home team than they are on the road. If OU plays with a quick pace, they likely win the game on the road.
