Top 2 Big 12 Teams Fall in Chaotic Night After Another AP Poll Unveiling

The Big 12 is the best conference in men’s college hoops from top to bottom, and its depth showed on Tuesday night as both #2 Kansas and #7 Texas tumbled. The Jayhawks got a career-high 38 points from Jalen Wilson, but #13 Kansas State got 24 from Keyontae Johnson, including the game-winning alley-oop in the final seconds for a one-point overtime win (83-82, OT). The 12th-ranked Cyclones took down Texas. The entire Big 12 is above .500 with six ranked teams, and things should get interesting down the stretch. Here’s a rundown of last night’s highlights and the latest AP Polls.
