Big 12 conference teams to March at March Madness

Kevin Durant is ready for his first March Madness bracket battle.

If the Big Ten has Greg Oden and the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Big 12 has Kevin Durant and the Texas Longhorns. And in case you didn't realize it yet, Kevin Durant led the Longhorns just enough to be ready at the coming March Madness wars.

However, as good as Kevin Durant is, the Longhorns are not a lock for the March Madness bracket battles just yet. If you can imagine that. It turns out that nobody from his team can compliment his unparalleled talent yet. And yes, the Texas Longhorns are not the Texan team to beat in the Big 12.

That title belongs to the Texas A&M Aggies. The Aggies, along with the Kansas Jayhawks are, for a lack of a better term, ''golden.'' But fret not Kevin Durant fans, the Texas Longhorns are not that far behind from these two powerhouse teams. One more win and you'll see them Longhorns ''horn'' their way to the top.

As for the rest of the field?

The Oklahoma Sooners are stirring up a lot of hype in this NCAA College Basketball season for an institution crazy about college football. HOWEVER, the Sooners missed out on a big chance for a home upset of the talented Aggies and if they want to keep up the momentum they generated the last couple of weeks, they better start winning now.

The Texas Tech Red Raiders are fun to watch. Watching Texas Tech head coach Bobby Knight throw obscenities at the game officials is worth the admission already! There's only one problem though, throwing obscenities doesn't earn you the automatic invite for March Madness and if the Red Raiders want to extend their season 'til March, they better stop hovering around .500 and start solidifying their March Madness bracket slot.
