ESPN has coverage of what is maybe the biggest game in Big 12 basketball this year, as No. 2 Baylor defends its undefeated record against league power Kansas. For some reason, the network decided to spend a large chunk of the first half talking about the NBA Draft.
The draft, of course, is a big subject, especially in the Big 12 this year. Oklahoma State‘s Cade Cunningham, a contender to be the No. 1 pick, exploded for 40 points today. It’s worth a mention.
