The string of consecutive Men’s Big 12 Conference Basketball Championships for the Kansas Jayhawks might continue in 2015-16, but if you ask head coach Bill Self, he won’t let his players think it will be easy.  Iowa State and Oklahoma have the horses to win it, and the balance of the league will guarantee the men from Lawrence won’t take any contest, road or in Allen Field House, for granted.  The new season will showcase one of the power basketball conferences in the country, if not the best.  Today’s pre-season poll shows the Big 12 with the three aforementioned teams in the Top 8 of the poll.
