Kansas City should be the site of one of the best conference tournaments in the country, with the Big 12 getting things started on Tuesday. Things will look a bit different in 2024, with four new teams in the bracket field. Eventually, a champion will be crowned on Saturday night, securing an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Many would consider the Big 12 the best conference in college basketball, discussing the grueling nature every week. Now, some teams have an opportunity to play as many as five games in five days in order to win the title. The champion will play at least three games.

Saturday was the final day of the regular season and now, everything is set. Seeds, the bracket, and the television schedule have been confirmed by the Big 12.
