The Texas Longhorns seem to be a lock for the NCAA Tournament, but a strong showing in the Big 12 Tournament could bode well for their seeding and standing as the regular season comes to a close.
Once again in 2024, the Big 12 was one of the toughest conferences in college basketball, with the top-seeded Houston Cougars losing three games and coming close to dropping additional games on a few occasions. Texas, despite some troubles with consistency down the stretch, won three of its final four and held a double-digit lead over the Baylor Bears in the one loss.
