This year's Big 12 Tournament doesn't have the overall strength of last season's loaded field but there are still some intriguing storylines to follow during the week in Kansas City.
Regular-season champion Kansas is the No. 1 seed after winning the Big 12 title for the 13th consecutive season as they fight for the potential No. 1 overall NCAA tournament seed that would allow them to choose their first travel destination.
Behind Kansas looms a pack of tough teams that are all safely in the NCAA Tournament as West Virginia, Baylor, Iowa State and Oklahoma State are all trying to pick up more wins to earn a better seed.
