Big 12 Basketball championships last year:

The Athlete did a B12 player poll on the subject. Hilton and Bramlage tied for second. The article quoted a WVU player who said he liked K-State best because of atmosphere, configuration, crowd noise, and lighting.Exactly.
Been to every arena/stadium and college town in the conference (aside from Baylor & WVU), and I wouldn’t even put Manhattan in the top 5 in the conference, let alone one of the best in the country.
You can see why the BIG 12 basketball conference has been the best in the land for many years and these recruiting classes will continue that trend.Love this basketball conference

K-State's arena is good no doubt, but Hilton has been marked as one of the toughest places to play by many national media members.

Okie State hired the brother of the #2 player in the class to land him.In the end I am sure KU will be near the top of the list based on player payments and family benefits. To my knowledge, the other 9 schools in the Big 12 don't do that.
I think that's for next year's class though right?Okie State hired the brother of the #2 player in the class to land him.
They are called titles, not championships. "Championships" typically refer to the conference tourney.Ha, ha. Like anyone, anywhere recognizes the postseason tournament winner as B12 champion. Hell, the other schools let ISU win that every year just so they don't jump to the B10.
