The deepest conference in men's college basketball will play in an expanded conference tournament in 2024.
The Big 12's expansion to 14 teams added an extra day to the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City.
Most of the focus will be on the quarterfinals, when the Houston Cougars, Iowa State Cyclones and Kansas Jayhawks should appear for the first time.
Houston is vying to win the regular-season and conference tournament titles in its first season in the Big 12.
The Cougars come into Saturday with a one-game edge on Iowa State and a favorable schedule to help it complete the regular-season crown.
