Big 12 basketball tournament: Updated seeds, matchups as bracket is finalized

The 2024-25 Big 12 men's basketball season wraps up on Saturday with eight games, starting with Iowa State-Kansas at 11:30 a.m. MST and continuing until the final two games tip off at 8 p.m. MST.

While some Big 12 Tournament seeds have been finalized — like No. 1 Houston — most seeds are up for grabs and will be determined by Saturday's results. We'll keep this page updated throughout the day with the finalized seeds for next week's conference tournament in Kansas City.

The Big 12 Tournament tips off Tuesday with four first-round games and continues Wednesday with four second-round games. The top four teams in the conference — Houston, Texas Tech, Arizona and BYU — have byes until the quarterfinals on Thursday.

Big 12 men's basketball standings

Here are the Big 12 standings heading into the final day of the regular season:

• Houston (18-1) - clinched No. 1 seed
• Texas Tech (14-5)  - clinched top-4 seed
• Arizona (14-5) - clinched top-4 seed
• BYU (13-6) - clinched No. 4 seed
• Iowa State (12-7) - clinched No. 5 seed
• Kansas (10-9)
• Baylor (10-9)
• TCU (9-10)
• Kansas State (9-10)
• West Virginia (9-10)
• Utah (8-11)
• Cincinnati (7-12)
• UCF (7-12)
• Oklahoma State (6-13)
• Arizona State (4-15) - clinched No. 15 seed
• Colorado (2-17) - clinched No. 16 seed

Arizona still has a chance to get the No. 2 seed, but the Wildcats need to beat Kansas and hope Texas Tech loses to Arizona State. The Red Raiders hold the seeding tiebreaker advantage over Arizona based on their 1-1 record vs. Big 12 champion Houston.

Arizona holds the seeding tiebreaker advantage over BYU, which means the lowest they can finish is the No. 3 seed. The Wildcats are hoping to avoid facing Kansas again in the quarterfinals, and to do that they will have to beat Kansas on Saturday.
