Kansas State celebrated a Big 12 championship Saturday night and now the Wildcats can celebrate landing seven players on the CBSSports.com All-Big 12 Conference Team.
Every team in the conference was represented with Oklahoma, West Virginia and Oklahoma State following Kansas State with the most players on the team. Two players (Tavon Austin and Quinn Sharp) were so good this year they appeared twice, and several others had their seasons cut short because of injury but did enough to make the team.
