2018 Big 12 Tournament Predictions

Here are my predictions for the 2018 Big 12 tournament. The tournament will be held at the Sprint Center in Saint Louis, Missouri.

First Round
3/7- (9) Oklahoma (18-12; 8-10) vs (8) Oklahoma State (18-13; 8-10)- 7:00, ESPNU: The Sooners did not finish the season well and neither did Trae Young. Give me the Cowboys in an upset to improve their at-large chances.
Prediction: Oklahoma State

3/7- (10) Iowa State (13-17; 4-14) vs (7) Texas (18-13; 8-10)- 9:00, ESPNU: The Longhorns need this game in the worst way to ensure themselves an at-large bid.
Prediction: Texas

Quarterfinals
3/8- (5) TCU (21-10; 9-9) vs (4) Kansas State (21-10; 10-8)- 12:30, ESPN2: Should be a fun game. Give me the Wildcats in a close one.
Prediction: Kansas State

3/8- (8) Oklahoma State vs (1) Kansas (24-7; 13-5)- 2:30, ESPN2: The Cowboys swept the Jayhawks this season, but DeVonte' Graham will lead the way to the Jayhawks to redemption.
Prediction: Kansas

3/8- (7) Texas vs (2) Texas Tech (23-8; 11-7)- 7:00, ESPNU: Fun game here between these two instate rivals. Give me Keenan Evans and the Red Raiders in a close one.
Prediction: Texas Tech

3/8- (6) Baylor (18-13; 8-10) vs (3) West Virginia (22-9; 11-7)- 9:00, ESPNU: The Bears should be in the field regardless of what happens here. Give me the Mountainners in a close one.
Prediction: West Virginia

Semifinals
3/9- (4) Kansas State vs (1) Kansas- 7:00, ESPN2: Fun in-state rivalry, but give me the Jayhawks in a close one.
Prediction: Kansas

3/9- (3) West Virginia vs (2) Texas Tech- 9:00, ESPN2: Fun game here as both teams split the regular season meetings. The Red Raiders didn't close the season that strong, so give me "Press Virginia" to advance to the championship.
Prediction: West Virginia

Championship
3/10- (3) West Virginia vs (1) Kansas- 6:00, ESPN: Great championship matchup here. The Jayhawks swept the Mountainners this season, but give me the Mountaineers in an upset led by Jevon Carter to receiver the auto-bid.
Prediction: West Virginia
