The Red Raiders are closing in fast on lock status. They play the best defense in the Big 12, Keenan Evans is eminently qualified to earn Big 12 Player of the Year honors should Trae Youngfalter in the slightest, and they've reeled off five straight wins in advance of a big road test at Kansas State.

One question with this team going forward could be perimeter shooting, but everything else appears to be in place for the program's first appearance in the Sweet 16 since Bob Knight took the Red Raiders there in 2005.
