2025 Big 12 Basketball Tournament Projection: Bracket, schedule for field if season ended today - March 4

It’s March and the college basketball calendar is heating up. There is now less than a week left in the regular season before the Big 12 Basketball Tournament tips off. However, as of March 4th, the final field is not yet set and is rapidly changing.

On Monday, there was only one Big 12 basketball game, but it was an important one. The Kansas Jayhawks traveled to the Houston Cougars where Houston came out on top and continued its dominant run in conference play this season. Meanwhile, the Jayhawks slipped into a more precarious position in the tightly contested middle of the conference standings.

Taking the latest results into account, here’s a look at the schedule for the Big 12 tournament and what the bracket would look like if the season ended today.

Big 12 Tournament Projected Bracket and Schedule

The Big 12 is now sitting at 16 teams, all of whom are going to make it to the Big 12 Tournament. Eight teams from the Big 12 will begin their conference tournament on March 11th. Four will begin the next day after getting a bye. Then another four are going to benefit from a double bye in the conference tournament. As of now, there are also three teams locked into their seed. Houston is going to be the one-seed. Then, Colorado and Arizona State are going to be the 16th and 15th seed respectively.
