2023 Big 12 Tournament field is officially set

The Big 12 regular season is all wrapped up in perhaps the strongest top-to-bottom year of hoops in the history of the conference. Despite such depth of great teams throughout the league, it was once again the Kansas Jayhawks who won the regular season crown for the 17th time in the last 19 seasons. Of course, they’ll be the one-seed in the Big 12 Tournament as well.

Texas also made a late climb, toppling Kansas on Saturday afternoon to climb into the No. 2 spot in the conference and secure a bye in the tournament.
