2026 Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament Bracket: Updated seeds, matchups as of 03.03.26

No. 2 Arizona clinched the outright Big 12 regular season title on Monday night with its 73-57 win over No. 6 Iowa State, so Tuesday night’s action didn’t carry much importance on that front. But it had plenty of implications in the overall conference picture.

Most of the league was in action Tuesday. No. 10 Texas Tech suffered a defeat at the hands of surging TCU. Meanwhile, No. 14 Kansas fell on the road at Arizona State.

There will still be plenty of shakeups come the weekend, but for now here is how the current seedings for the Big 12 Tournament are shaking out. Let’s take a look below.
