Big 12 Sends a Nation-High 70% of Teams to NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship
Story LinksRegular season champion Kansas earned a No. 1 seed while Phillips 66 Big 12 Men’s Basketball Championship winner Texas was awarded a No. 2 seed to highlight a nation-high 70 percent of teams in the 2023 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. Baylor and Kansas State captured No. 3 seeds. Iowa State and TCU picked up No. 6 seeds while West Virginia is a No. 9 seed.
The Big 12 tied its own record as the only league to place 70 percent of men’s basketball teams in the NCAA Championship and 80 percent of football squads in bowl games in the same academic year, also accomplishing the feat in 2017-18.
Seven Big 12 teams will play in the Big Dance for the seventh season since 2010, including six of the last nine tournaments conducted. The Big 12 has had six or more NCAA Championship teams in 19 of 26 years, including 10 seasons since 2012. From 2014-23, the Big 12 has 60 selections, the third-best total of any conference.
The Big 12 has captured the last two national championships with Baylor winning the 2021 title and Kansas bringing home the 2022 trophy. Conference teams have played in the last four Final Fours and the past three national championship games. Sixty percent of Big 12 institutions have advanced to the Final Four since 2002, the highest percentage among conferences.

Lost by 4 and were 9-20 from the line. They’re average is 71.5. OUCH!!
70% would have been 14-20 and likely given them a W.

In watching the first four games, there seems to be a very good crowd, but not necessarily a lot of atmosphere.
