#WHEN DOES THE BIG 12 CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT START HOW TO#
The Sooners coaxed some uncharacteristically rough outings out of Agbaji (21 total points on 7-of-23 shooting) and have a coach in Porter Moser who knows how to win in March, having previously led Loyola Chicago the 2018 Final Four.The Big 12 has moved its conference tournament out of the Bricktown Ballpark of Oklahoma City and into the Major League facility of Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
#WHEN DOES THE BIG 12 CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT START SERIES#
While Kansas swept the season series 2-0, the two games were decided by a total of five points. If the current bracket holds, the Jayhawks would open up against Oklahoma. It's possible this mini-skid carries over into the tournament, and Kansas-which can struggle to find consistent offense from anyone not named Ochai Agbaji or Christian Braun-could get a tricky draw there, too. Now, the Jayhawks wrap up against a Texas team they lost to last month. Kansas just followed up back-to-back double-digit losses (the first to Baylor, the next to TCU) by sweating out a four-point victory over that same TCU team. The Jayhawks enter their season finale tied with Baylor atop the standings.īut this isn't one of the most talented teams Bill Self has ever coached, and it might be running out of steam. Kansas often controls this conference, and this year hasn't really been different. If Iowa State closes with another anemic showing or two, it could wind up sweating through Selection Sunday. But they have a single consistent scorer Izaiah Brockington, and when he can't get it going, this group plays some of the worst offense in the nation. They have 20 wins under their belt and some really quality victories on their resume (Iowa, Texas Tech, Texas). The Cyclones should have the resume to get an invitation to the Big Dance. It was the second time this season the program has set the record for its fewest points ever scored at Hilton Coliseum. In Iowa State's last outing, its offense never made the short trip to its home arena, and the Cyclones stumbled through a 53-36 loss. If the Cyclones follow that up by losing their tournament opener in Kansas City, they'd go into Selection Sunday with three consecutive losses, at least one of which was suffered in particularly brutal fashion. A Saturday visit to Waco against top-seeded Baylor could easily bring about No. Iowa State has 10 conference losses so far. It seems strange to even bring up bubble talk for this bunch, but the in-conference portion of the campaign has been rocky enough to do it. The Cyclones won their first 12 games this season and climbed all the way to No. While the most likely outcome of the upcoming tournament is a juggernaut like Baylor, Kansas or Texas Tech taking down the field, it doesn't feel remotely hyperbolic to say any team could go on a run.īuckle up, folks.

West Virginia is ranked 73rd by, making it the conference's only club ranked outside of the top 60 and one of only two to not crack the top 45 (Kansas State, 56th). West Virginia comes closest to wearing that label, but the Mountaineers: beat Iowa State, lost by a single point to Texas, lost both games to Baylor by single digits and came within seven points of knocking off Texas Tech. That might be a minor footnote by the tourney's end, though. In a way, it's already here, since the 10-team field will hold a nine-team tournament next week due to Oklahoma State's ineligibility by way of its postseason ban.
Chaos could be coming soon to the Big 12 men's basketball conference.
