The conference enters the tournament as the highest ranking conference nationally in terms of power rankings. It had a collectively marvelous December where it conquered most of the out-of-conference games and won a few holiday championships to go along with it.

It led to five Big 12 teams earning a ranking in The Associated Press’ top 10 teams over the course of the season. Kansas and West Virginia both soared as high as No. 2. Oklahoma was fourth.
