The third day of the 2025 Big 12 men's basketball tournament is basically an NCAA Tournament preview.

Thursday's four quarterfinal games feature seven NCAA-bound teams, plus upset-minded Colorado who stunned No. 8 seed West Virginia 67-60 in the second round. The loss put the Mountaineers on the March Madness bubble, and they have to hope teams like Colorado (14-19) don't steal their bid.

Thursday's first quarterfinal between No. 4 seed BYU (23-8) and No. 5 seed Iowa State (24-8) features plenty of intriguing storylines. BYU went into Hilton Coliseum and stunned the Cyclones 88-85 in double overtime just 10 days ago. And Iowa State was healthy for that game. ISU guard Keshon Gilbert has been ruled out of Thursday's game with a muscle strain and Tamin Lipsey is questionable with a groin strain. The game tips off at 11:30 a.m. CT on ESPN2 and ESPN+.

Here's the full schedule for Thursday's quarterfinal games in Kansas City. All games are being televised on ESPN+.
