Big 12 Basketball Tournament Odds: Iowa State Rolls

Iowa State blew the doors off the top-seeded Houston Cougars to win the 2024 Big 12 Tournament Championship.

A cagey first half between two of the top defenses in college basketball produced just 53 total points. But Iowa State continually got good looks, while harassing Houston into bad shots and stretched their lead early in the second half.

The Cyclones knocked down nine three-pointers while holding the Cougars to just 26% shooting from the field. Iowa State led by as much as 30 late in the second and cruised to victory. T.J. Otzelberger's team have to be seen as a threat heading into the March Madness tournament. Iowa State's menacing defense has the makings of a National Championship contender.

With blue blood giants like the Kansas Jayhawks and Texas Longhorns, the Big 12's basketball legacy is interwoven within the very fabric of college hoops. When you look up “a whole lot of winning” in the dictionary, you’ll find a picture of the Jayhawks. They’ve dominated the conference, winning the most Big 12 tournaments with 12 – how fitting. Four of those championships have come in the last decade. Additionally, the Jayhawks have won the regular-season title nine times in the last 11 years. 

Predictably, the Kansas Jayhawks lead the Big-12 with 2357 overall wins. Kansas has been blessed by some of the finest coaches, and greatest college basketball players of all-time.
