Arizona is all but a lock for one of four No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. Could Houston or Iowa State sneak onto the final No. 1-seed spot with a Big 12 championship win?

Kansas is also capable of making a run for a Big 12 title, especially with Darryn Peterson fully available, which he has been as of late. Peterson, one of the top projected picks of the 2026 NBA Draft, has played 30 or more minutes in each of his last four games.
The Big 12 tournament could also have huge seeding implications for TCU, UCF, Cincinnati and others vying for an at-large bid.
