The Big 12 Tournament is likely to play out in an unfamiliar manner this season.
Kansas regularly comes into the conference tournament in the top spot, but that is not the case this year. The Jayhawks may have been a first-place team in the league every year since 2004, but head coach Bill Self and his team are in third place this season.
The Jayhawks have not always dominated the conference tournament the way they have the regular season. They have won just two of the last five Big 12 tournaments, with the Iowa State Cyclones winning the other three.
