Wednesday's schedule for the 2018 Big 12 tournament featured four teams in two games fighting to keep their hopes for a spot in the field of 68 alive.
A total of 10 teams will fight for conference supremacy over the next four days, with the winner getting an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.
Kansas has dominated the Big 12 overall with 10 tournament titles since 1997, but Iowa State has won three of the previous four conference tournament titles. The Cyclones enter this year's tournament as the No. 10 seed and will need to prevail again to keep playing next week.
