In five of the last six seasons, the Big 12 Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament has had the same finish, with the Kansas Jayhawks hoisting the championship trophy. The Jayhawks will certainly be among the favorites again this season, but the Texas Longhorns, Kansas State Wildcats, Texas A&M Aggies and the rest of the conference will certainly have something to say about that. As will be the case through at least ‘14, this season’s Big 12 Tournament will be held at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. If you want Big 12 Conference Basketball Tournament tickets, GoTickets is the place to get them.

It should not be surprising that Kansas has a dominated the Big 12 Tournament in recent years and that the Jayhawks have a spectacular record of 8-1 in the championship game. But what might surprise some people is the fact that the Texas Longhorns have never won the Big 12 Tourney and they have a record of 0-6 when they reach the championship finale, with four of those losses coming to the Jayhawks. The good news for Longhorns fans is that Texas has won a share of the Big 12 Conference regular season title two times in recent years, and this could be the year they finally take the spotlight from Kansas. And you can’t count out Kansas State, Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas Tech or the rest of the Big 12 teams. So get your Big 12 Tournament tickets now so you can be there to see who wins it all.

Since the inception of the Big 12 Conference Tournament in ‘97, it has only been held at a handful of locations. It started at the old Kemper Arena in Kansas City and stayed there for six years until it moved to the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Then it was back to Kemper Arena and it has also been held at the Oklahoma City Arena. But now it appears that the Sprint Center is the home of the Big 12 Tournament for at least the near future, and the $276 million arena that opened in ‘07 has proven to be a fine host.
