The Big 12 is set to send quite a few teams to the NCAA tournament, but just one of them will enter March Madness as the champions of their conference.

After a week of action that saw all 16 teams in the conference get their shot at the throne, the championship game Saturday came down to the two powerhouses of the Big 12, Houston and Arizona. The Wildcats have dropped just two games all season, and won the regular-season matchup against the Cougars in Houston 73–66. Then, they did it again with a 79–74 victory in the Big 12 tournament championship game Saturday. With the win, Arizona makes a claim to the top overall seed in the country.
