The Big 12 Conference has sent a record-tying six teams to the tournament, and four of them remain in the hunt for the national championship. In this article, we will delve into the stories of these teams, their strengths and weaknesses, and their chances of cutting down the nets in Houston.
As the March Madness frenzy continues, the Big 12 Conference stands tall with four teams still competing for the ultimate prize. These programs have showcased grit, determination, and exceptional talent throughout the tournament, making the Big 12 one of the most dominant conferences in the country.
Contenders with Championship Aspirations
Kansas Jayhawks
The Kansas Jayhawks are the top seed in the tournament and the clear favorite to win it all. They are led by a trio of future NBA stars in Jalen Wilson, Gradey Dick, and Ernest Udeh Jr. The Jayhawks have been dominant all season, winning the Big 12 regular season and tournament titles. They are also the defending national champions, so they know what it takes to win on the biggest stage.
Baylor Bears
The Baylor Bears are another Big 12 team with a legitimate chance to win the national championship. They are led by the reigning National Player of the Year, Adam Flagler, and a talented supporting cast. The Bears have a lot of experience in the NCAA Tournament, and they know how to win in March. They also have a favorable draw in the tournament, so they have a good chance of making a deep run.
Texas Longhorns
The Texas Longhorns are a bit of a surprise team in the NCAA Tournament. They finished third in the Big 12 regular season but have played their way to the Sweet 16. The Longhorns are led by Tyrese Hunter, who is one of the best point guards in the country. They also have a lot of size and athleticism in the frontcourt.
Strategies for Success

On the defensive end, the Jayhawks are one of the best teams in the country. They hold their opponents to an average of 65 points per game and force a lot of turnovers.
Baylor Bears: Elite Shooting and Lockdown Defense
The Baylor Bears are one of the best shooting teams in the country. They make over 40% of their three-pointers, and they have several players who can knock down shots from deep. On the defensive end, the Bears are very good at guarding the three-point line and they also force a lot of turnovers. They are also one of the best rebounding teams in the country, which gives them a lot of second chances.
Texas Longhorns: Up-Tempo Offense and Disruptive Defense
The Texas Longhorns play at a very up-tempo pace on offense, and they are very good at scoring in transition. They also have a lot of size and athleticism in the frontcourt, which makes them a tough matchup for any team.
Conclusion
The Big 12 Conference has four teams still in the hunt for the national championship. The Kansas Jayhawks are the clear favorite, but the Baylor Bears, Texas Longhorns, and TCU Horned Frogs all have a chance to make a deep run in the tournament.
