Championship week is here, and the Big 12 is set to follow up a strong regular season with an exciting Big 12 Tournament. As it has since 2010, the tournament will take place at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
The conference officially announced its tournament bracket yesterday. No. 6 Kansas (25-6, 14-4 Big 12) and No. 3 Baylor (26-6 - 14-4) shared the regular season title and will hold the top two seeds. No. 12 Texas Tech (23-8, 12-6) and No. 21 Texas (21-10, 10-8 Big East) will round out the top four.
Only nine teams will compete in the tournament as Oklahoma State (15-15, 8-10) is banned from the postseason this year for its ties to a 2017 FBI investigation. Oklahoma State appealed the ban, which was handed down in 2020, but lost the appeal last November.
