The Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals have arrived, and the field is a bit chalky. The six most talented teams 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.
