This is no longer the Kansas Jayhawk Invitational Tournament.
Kansas has been the dominant team in the Big 12 for years, but after winning or claiming a share of the regular-season title every season from 2004-05 through 2017-18, the Jayhawks finished in third place in the conference.
Kansas State and Texas Tech tied for first during the regular season, and the Wildcats are the top-seeded team in the conference tournament, while the Red Raiders are the second-seeded team.
The Big 12 conference tournament begins Wednesday at the Spirit Center in Kansas City, and it will be contested over a four-day period.
