Big 12 final predictions: TX:15-1 BU:14-2 WV:9-7 KU:8-8 ISU:8-8 KSU:6-10 TT:6-10 …. If this is the way the rest of the season plays out, what teams will get into the tournament besides TX&BU? West Virginia is 6-8 - the best they can do is 8-8. TTU is 7-7 - the worst they can do is 7-9. Assuming this and what you have above: Kansas and Texas Tech would be in for sure. West Virginia, Kansas State, and Iowa State would be on the bubble, where none of them would have a better than 50% chance of getting in. I would guess that 1 or 2 would get in based on what else happens.

Baylor’s Lauren Harrison obtained Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week while Kansas’ Rachel Langs acquired Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week and Camryn Turner collected her first Big 12 Rookie of the Week honor. Harrison led the conference in kills (4.67 k/s) and was second in hitting percentage (.382) while helping Baylor sweep Iowa State twice. The junior was the only non-senior starter in the second match for the Bears and averaged six kills per set in the match with a hitting percentage of .469. This is the 2020 First Team All-Big 12 outside hitter’s first Big 12 weekly accolade. Langs was a force in Kansas’ sweep of TCU (3-2, 3-1). In the first match, the senior posted a career-high 10 total blocks including three solo. On her senior night, the Fairview, Texas native was just as impressive recording eight total blocks (two solo) and adding seven kills with a .294 hitting percentage. This is Langs’ second Big 12 defensive award and her third overall Big 12 weekly accolade. Turner had an outstanding weekend for the Jayhawks opening with 32 assists, 11 digs, and an ace in Kansas’ five-set win over the Horned Frogs. In the second match, the freshman led KU with 20 digs and recorded a career-high six kills while hitting .455. She also had a career-high four total blocks and 38 assists, which were her second-most this season and three shy of her career-high.

Turner is getting pretty good at that left handed (her natural hand) kill on 2. Also pretty solid on her floor defense.
