By now, if you?ve been following the season at least casually, you?re well aware that both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are currently expected (and easily projected) to make the NCAA hoops tourney.

They have been for weeks.

But what might come as a bit of a surprise is the number of conference brethren who are expected to join them. In ESPN braketologist Joe Lunardi?s latest projections (they can be seen here), the Big 12 has six participants in the Big Dance (KU, KSU, OSU, OU, ISU and Baylor).

That?s the third most of any conference, one more than the ACC and two more than the SEC and Pac-12. Considering the general consensus was a pretty substantial down year for the Big 12, that?s quite impressive.

Here?s where Lunardi has them slotted in the ?still-way-too-early? projections:

Kansas
Seed:?3
Region: South (Kansas City)
Opponent: Davidson

Kansas State
Seed: 4
Region:?Midwest (San Jose)
Opponent:?Lehigh

Oklahoma State
Seed:?6
Region:?West (Austin)
Opponent: Saint Louis

Oklahoma
Seed:?9
Region:?South (Auburn Hills)
Opponent:?Wichita State

Iowa State
Seed:?10
Region:?Midwest (Salt Lake City)
Opponent:?San Diego State

Baylor
Seed:?10
Region:?East (Philadelphia)
Opponent:?Colorado State
