The Big 12 is reportedly close to signing 10-year, $60 million television rights deal with Fox, a $40 million in increase from what it now receives from its cable contract.

The conference’s broadcast rights contract with ABC/ESPN expire after the 2015-16 season.

Two sources indicated that the $60 million might be a low-end projection. A deal could be announced by early April.

Cezar Guerrero, one of the top prep point guards in the country, committed to Oklahoma State on Monday over Oklahoma and Iowa, according to Rivals.com.

Guerrero is considered to be one of the top 15 point guards in the country. He averaged almost 28 points a game for St. John Bosco High School.

Head coach Travis Ford is assembling one of the best incoming classes in the country, with LeBryan Nash already signed.

Kansas shot 35.9 percent from the field in one of its worst offensive showings of the season.

Confounded by Oklahoma State’s full-court press and 2-3 zone, guards Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar shot a combined 5-of-20 from the field.

It wasn’t until KU coach Bill Self went small and utilized 6-6 Mario Little at power forward that Kansas pulled away for good.

With the game tied at 60 and the final minute approaching, Little sliced to the center of the zone and accepted an entry pass, then spun hard into his right shoulder and banked in a lefty half-hook., icing a 63-62 win over the Cowboys.

Keiton Page hit four three-pointers, including back-to-back triples late in the fourth quarter as OSU held Nebraska to 34.5 percent shooting, 21.1 percent three-point accuracy and one field goal in the last five minutes.

The Huskers made only seven first-half field goals, and two came on goal-tending calls.

Defense allowed the Cowboys to win despite scoring only 53 points, their third-lowest total ever in a Big 12 Tournament game.

Marcus Morris of Kansas won the Big 12 Player of the Year Award, while Tristan Thompson of Texas was named Freshman of the Year and Ricardo Ratliffe was Newcomer of the Year.

Joining Morris on the First Team are Alec Burks (Colorado), Marcus Denmon (Missouri), LaceDarius Dunn (Baylor), Jordan Hamilton (Texas) and Jacob Pullen (Kansas State).

On the Second team are Thompson, Markieff Morris (Kansas), Kris Middleton (Texas A&M), Perry Jones (Baylor) and Diante Garrett (Iowa State).

On the Third Team are Gary Johnson (Texas), Cory Higgins (Colorado), Lance Jeter (Nebraska), David Loubeau (Texas A&M), Rodney McGruder (Kansas State) and Marshall Moses (Oklahoma State).

Ray Penn has decided to transfer from Oklahoma State.

Penn was suspended indefinitely by Travis Ford two weeks ago.

“He won't be coming back,” said Ford, who did not elaborate further.

Penn started 10 of the 27 games he played in this season, averaging 5.9 points and 2.1 assists a game.

Ford said Penn remains in school, working to remain eligible as he seeks a transfer.

“We have encouraged him to make sure that he continues,” attending class, Ford said. “He's told some people about possible places he may be headed.”

A logical destination for Penn could be Houston, where he is from and where former Cowboys'  assistant James Dickey  just completed his first season as coach.

OSU forward LaceDarius Dunn needed just 12 points to become the Big 12's all-time leading scorer, but was held to 7 on 2-of-16 shooting in OSU’s 71-60 over Baylor on Tuesday night.

“You have got to credit them on great defense on Lace,” said Baylor coach Scott Drew, “2-for-16 is outstanding defense on him.
“We tried to drive and tried to get him to the free-throw line and unfortunately couldn't get him going that way, either.”

Perry Jones III shot just 2-for-8 from the field and finished with 10 points. Overall, the Bears shot just 35.2 percent from the floor.

Baylor, already on the bubble, fell to 18-11 and 7-8 in conference play.
