SB Nation projected the entire NCAA Tournament field on Wednesday, projecting Texas and Kansas as top seeds, Texas A&M and Missouri as four seeds, and no other Big 12 teams in the tournament. That last part has changed a bit in two days, as Chris Dobbertean went into greater detail with his latest projections Friday.
↵On Wednesday, he said:
↵↵↵The Big 12 is in real danger of having four locks and a whole slew of teams left out. Baylor, Colorado, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State all have profiles that require significant work (or, for our purposes, wins) before they can get back into the bracket.

After Wednesday's home wins over Nebraska and Missouri, Kansas State and Oklahoma State are now included in the last four teams projected to make the tournament. Colorado is the second team out (after Gonzaga), and Baylor is still out.
↵Texas is projected as the second overall seed behind 23-0 Ohio State, and Kansas is third overall - a flip-flop of both polls. The Longhorns and Jayhawks are both projected to start the tournament in Tulsa, Texas as the Southwest region's top seed. The Aggies are projected to start in Tuscon, as the four seed in Ohio State's East region. Missouri is down to a five seed and would slot with Kansas in the Southeast.
↵It all sets up an interesting Saturday, with Baylor visiting A&M, Colorado in Columbia to face Missouri, an Oklahoma civil war in Stillwater, Texas hosting Tech, Kansas State heading for Ames, and Kansas visiting a Nebraska team that is 14-0 at home.
