Around SBN: Roy Nelson Willing to Pay for His Next Opponent's Drug Test

Latest Polls Set The Stage For No. 3 Baylor Vs. No. 7 Kansas Tonight

The stage is now set for a Big 12 matchup of two teams firmly planted in the top 10. In the latest set of polls Baylor moves up one spot to no. 3 after North Carolina's loss to Florida State. Meanwhile Kansas jumps three spots up to no. 7 this week moving ahead of Indiana, North Carolina and Michigan State.

A win here makes a huge statement for either side. For Kansas the win would represent their second win over a top three team, the first being Ohio State. For Baylor a win would mark their biggest test to date and a statement victory over a top ten conference opponent on the road.

Elsewhere in the conference Missouri moves up to no. 5 while Kansas State drops down to no 25 in the AP and out of the rankings in the ESPN/Coaches poll. Syracuse, Kentucky and Duke complete the top five along checking in at no. 1, no.2 and no. 4 respectively.

We have a ridiculous schedule this year

Good grief. #2 Kentucky., #3 Baylor (twice), #4 Duke, #5 Missouri (twice).

That’s serious.

TRob will solidify his case for Naismith tonight.

I just know it. He’s gonna dominate PJ3, I just have a feeling.

THEO!

Hope you're right.

I’ll admit to being a little worried after seeing White get around him towards the baseline a few times on Saturday.

ESPN3

Allows you to watch from the tipoff regardless of Big East action, if you have access to it

Ah I do love ESPN3

Too bad once the advertisers catch on and ESPN starts making major money it will all change to some more structured, shoddier product, but it is early-Hulu-esque
