Road teams broke through in the Big 12 in a big way last night, with Kansas, Missouri and Texas vaulting themselves into the lead of the pack by netting wins at Nebraska, Texas Tech and Iowa State, respectively.
That ups the ante for K-State, which really needs to nab a win at Colorado in order to keep up, especially with Big Monday against Texas right around the corner.
Meanwhile, our RPI shot up like a rocket thanks to big wins from Dayton, Ole Miss, UNLV and Xavier. It might have jumped more but for Alabama's disappointing one-point loss at home to Vandy.
