When the NCAA women’s basketball tournament tips off on Saturday, the Big 12 will be solidly represented in the brackets. With seven teams in dancing and one of the strongest overall seasons for the conference, they will be a force to be reckoned with in their respective matchups.
To pander to my constituents, errr the Big 12 fans of the world, I would like to point out some impressive statistics before we move on. As many know, the seven conference bids ties the Big East for most represented conference in the 2010 tournament and no Big 12 team is seeded lower than sixth for the second consecutive year. Since the beginning of the aughts, the Big 12 has made 69 NCAA tournament appearances, second nationally, and can boast a championship game appearance by Oklahoma in 2002, a final four berth by Texas in 2003 and a 2005 national championship by Baylor.
