A chalky quarterfinal round is set in the Big 12 Tournament. The six most talented rosters are still alive, and the Scary Six will be joined by UCF and TCU, who have exceeded expectations all year. A delightful round of heavy-hitting matchups is on tap.
Finality was the theme of Wednesday’s Big 12 Tournament action. Iowa State hammered Arizona State 91-42 to conclude the Bobby Hurley era. Cincinnati collapsed late in regulation and eventually fell in overtime 66-65 to UCF to bid adieu to its at-large case. West Virginia’s slim chances for a Big Dance appearance fell by the wayside at the hands of BYU star AJ Dybantsa, who delivered a 27-point gem in the Cougars’ 68-48 win. Finally, TCU outlasted Oklahoma State 95-88 to knock the Cowboys out of Big Dance contention.
