2. Kansas at Texas Tech, Feb. 23

Kansas' 14-year Big 12 championship streak is on the line, and Saturday's game between the Jayhawks and Red Raiders is crucial. Kansas State is 10-3 in the league (more on them soon) while Kansas and Texas Tech are tied at 9-4. The Jayhawks only need to tie for the lead in order to extend one of the craziest streaks in college basketball to 15.

Kansas handled Texas Tech with ease in Lawrence earlier this year, but the Jayhawks are shorthanded now and are playing in a tough Lubbock environment. It won't have Lagerald Vick. And the Red Raiders are on a bit of a roll lately, winning four straight and six of seven.

This feels is a crucial game for Kansas if it's going to extend the streak to a decade and a half.
