2025 Big 12 Tournament Predictions: Who Wins Every Game & the Championship?
© Troy Taormina-Imagn Images
It hasn't been the Big 12's best year.
The conference that has been the best - or close to it - over the last few college basketball seasons was overshadowed by the SEC this year, but that could (and probably will) quickly change when the NCAA Tournament comes around.
Can Kansas be Kansas again going into the big tournament? How dominant can Houston be? Will Iowa State get back to what made it so good all season long, or is this BYU's time to show just how real it is?
It'll be a fascinating few days. Here's our first-thought-no-real-though prediction for every Big 12 Tournament game - along with the call for the champion - before we do a deep dive game prediction and preview.
Here's what's about to happen in the Big 12 Men's College Basketball Tournament.
