KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ The Big 12 tournament gets started this week in Kansas City. For more than half the teams, it will be a warm-up for the real madness of March. That's because, barring a major meltdown, the conference will likely get seven teams into next week's NCAA tournament. Kansas, vying for the No. 1 overall seed, is a lock. Kansas State, Baylor, Texas A&M, Missouri, Texas and Oklahoma State also seem likely to get NCAA berths. It could interesting is if someone else wins the conference tournament and the automatic bid that comes with it. Colorado beat Baylor and played Kansas and Kansas State close. Iowa State closed out the season with a win over K-State and even 12th-seeded Nebraska has shown flashes of toughness during the season.
