The Phillips 66 Big 12 Men’s Basketball Championship is just over a month away, and a week after that, the conference will send several members to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.

There’s still plenty of basketball between now and then, and there is no telling what the seeding will actually look like, but the Big 12 did unveil what the bracket for the tournament will look like on Friday.

Here’s a look at the bracket, courtesy of a Big 12 press release.
