Big 12 Women's Basketball Tourney starts Tomorrow in Kansas City
Posted: Wed Mar 06, 2024 2:46 pm
The Big 12 Women's Basketball Tourney begins on Thursday, the 7th, with two play-in games before the 10-team bracket begins play on Friday, the 8th.
Thursday @ 5:30 PM - Texas Tech 5-13 (#12 Seed) vs Houston 5-13 (#13 Seed)
Thursday @ 8 PM - Cincinnati 5-13 (#11 Seed) vs Central Florida 3-15 (#14 Seed)
In both matchups, the two teams played twice the conference play. Texas Tech defeated Houston twice while Cincinnati defeated UCF both times as well.
Tech looks to have the advantage over Houston as they won by 8 in Houston and by 18 in Lubbock. But Texas Tech has lost their last 9 games in conference play. Houston was 3 and 6 in their last 9 games in conference.
Cincinnati won both close games over UCF. In Cincy, they won by 1, 64-63. In Orlando, Cincy won by 6 67-61. In their last nine games in conference, Cincy was 3-6 while UCF was 2-7.
On Friday, there are two more play-in games along with 2 games with Thursday's winners playing against the #5 Seed, Baylor and the #6 Seed, West Virginia.
Friday @ 11 AM - Baylor 12-6 (#5 Seed) plays the winner of Tech and Houston game.
Friday @ 1:30 PM - Oklahoma State 7-11 (#8 Seed) plays TCU 6-12 (#9 Seed).
Friday @ 5:30 PM - West Virginia (#6 Seed) 12-6 plays the winner of the Cincy and UCF game.
Friday @ 8 PM - Kansas 11-7 (#7 Seed) plays BYU 6-12 (#10 Seed).
In the Friday play-in games, one two-some did not played and the the other two played only once.
It is interesting that OSU and TCU has not played this season as TCU forfeited those two games in mid-season when TCU was short of players. TCU is 4-5 in their last 9 games, but they are 4-1 in their last five when their 6'7" center Sedona Prince returned from injury. I think TCU could win this play-in game over OSU.
Kansas defeated BYU twice this season. Kansas won by 14 at home and by 8 in Utah. Kansas has also won 8 of their last nine games in conference play while BYU was 4-5 in their last nine conference games.
I will have more to report as the tourney is played out and will preview the two games before Friday's games after the Thursday games are played.
