Big 12 men’s tournament set

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Big 12 tournament bracket is set, with Oklahoma clinching the No. 2 seed behind regular-season champion Kansas.

The tournament starts in Kansas City on Wednesday night with both games featuring NCAA tournament hopefuls, seventh-seeded Baylor (21-10) and eighth-seeded Oklahoma State (20-11).

Oklahoma State opens the tournament against Texas Tech, with the winner advancing to play Kansas on Thursday. Baylor then plays TCU, the first Big 12 team in 10 years to go through the regular season without winning a conference game, with Oklahoma awaiting the winner the next day.

In the other quarterfinal games Thursday, Iowa State takes on Kansas State and Texas plays West Virginia.

The tournament championship game is Saturday night.
