2026 Big 12 Tournament Bracket, Seeding With One Week Left

SALT LAKE CITY – It’s March, so that means we’re not far away from the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City.

The event, which will include all 16 teams, begins on Tuesday, March 10, and runs through Saturday, March 14, at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City.

KSL Sports will be on location for the event with coverage throughout the week.

The Big 12 Tournament is shaping up to be a big event, as some of college basketball’s best teams will compete for the automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.

There is only one week remaining in the regular season, with many scenarios still in play to determine the 16 seeds.

Arizona enters the final week of the regular season with a two-game lead. If Arizona wins one game this week, they clinch the outright regular-season Big 12 championship and the No. 1 seed in Kansas City.

As of right now, the local teams, BYU and Utah, would meet in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament if this seeding holds up.

BYU is currently on a two-game losing streak after dropping games against UCF and West Virginia, dropping them to ninth in the standings.

Utah is on a three-game losing streak and remains in last place at 16th.
