The college basketball regular season ended over the weekend, finalizing the 2026 Big 12 Tournament bracket.

No. 2 Arizona's road win over the Colorado Buffaloes capped the conference's regular-season action. The Wildcats improved to 29-2 (16-2 Big 12) with the come-from-behind victory. Their only two losses came in back-to-back games in mid-February against then-top-10 Kansas and top-16 Texas Tech. They won a stacked Big 12 by two games over No. 7 Houston.

Across the conference, BYU's upset of No. 10 Texas Tech was a major storyline with the Cougars having dropped three in a row up until that point.

With the 2025-26 Big 12 regular season complete, here is the complete conference tournament bracket.
