The first night of the Big 12 tournament is in the books, and the outlook for the upcoming NCAA tournament continues to fluctuate after the results from Wednesday at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.
Both TCU and Oklahoma were part of games that went down to the wire Wednesday against Oklahoma State and West Virginia, respectively, but it was a different tune for each team walking off the court. The Horned Frogs, despite surrendering a 21-point second-half lead, advanced after escaping the Cowboys with a 73-70 victory, while the Sooners' night ended in heartbreak after an overturned game-tying 3-pointer by Christian James at the buzzer sealed a 72-71 defeat against the Mountaineers.
