Big 12 basketball tournament updates, scores, results: Arizona, Houston, Kansas roll into semis
With just days left until Selection Sunday and March Madness, it’s crunch time in conference tournaments around the country.
Arizona stands above the rest of the Big 12 after winning the regular season title and appears to be a lock for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats went 29-2 this season and the two games they dropped came in early February against Kansas and Texas Tech — two very good teams that could make March Madness runs of their own.

That said, of all the major conference tournaments this week, this one feels the most wide open. Beyond Arizona, Kansas and Texas Tech, perennial contender Houston has another stacked team. The Cougars went 26-5 and have repeatedly looked capable of making another Final Four run under Kelvin Sampson. No. 7-ranked Iowa State should be in the mix as well.

Darryn Peterson now has 20 points and the Jayhawks are up 5 but it’s anyone’s ballgame as we hit the 4-minute mark.
Who will be meeting No. 2 Houston in the Big 12 tourney semifinal?
Yahoo Sports Staff
We’re at the 10-minute mark and we have a good one. TCU and Kansas have traded leads all game and now the Jayhawks are back in front. The winner of this game gets No. 2 Houston in the semifinal of the Big 12 tournament.
Yahoo Sports Staff
Micah Robinson just put the Horned Frogs up 6 with this trey ball with just under 14 minutes left in the game.
Yahoo Sports Staff
We are back for the second half and the Jayhawks have re-taken the lead, at least momentarily. These teams are pretty evenly matched and this game should come down the stretch. Darryn Peterson has 10 points to lead Kansas.
Yahoo Sports Staff
There’s been a lot of ebbing and flowing in this one. The Jayhawks started off hot, then the Horned Frogs went on a run, and then the two teams traded blows for the rest of the half.
TCU will take the lead into the half after a late 3-pointer by Jayden Pierre.
Yahoo Sports Staff The Jayhawks have stopped the bleeding and are back in front as the game ticks toward halftime.
Kansas is getting help from everybody, but Darryn Peterson in particular has been lighting it up and it’s a 12-0 Jayhawks run.
Yahoo Sports Staff
The Frogs are blitzing the Jayhawks now and have a 23-16 lead after a torrid shooting streak. Kansas has hit a bit of a cold spell.
That was a 20-4 run for TCU after the poor start. Yahoo Sports Staff
The Horned Frogs are right back in this one after a 9-0 deficit to start the game. Darryn Peterson just got his first points of the game on a couple of free throws before the 10-minute mark in the first half.
Yahoo Sports Staff
Well it took over 5 minutes but the Horned Frogs are finally on the board and have made it a one-possession game with just over 13 minutes left in the first half.
Yahoo Sports Staff Yahoo Sports Staff
We are back in action in Kansas City and the Jayhawks are up 7-0 early.
These two teams have only met once this season and it ended up as a 104-100 Kansas win in late January.
Nick Bromberg
Dybantsa hit a late three for his 26th point on Thursday night. That gives the potential No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft 93 points in three Big 12 tournament games. The previous record for Big 12 tournament scoring was held by Kevin Durant with 92. Houston moves on to face either Kansas or TCU. That game will tip off at approximately 9:45 p.m. ET.
Nick Bromberg
With Houston up six and getting a defensive rebound with just over a minute to go, BYU let the game play out. That was a bad decision. Houston got an offensive rebound and Emmanuel Sharp was fouled while driving to the lane with 33.6 points to go.
Sharp hit both his free throws. The lead is now eight. BYU is going to really regret not fouling 30 seconds earlier.
Nick Bromberg The Houston forward’s 3-pointer with 3:13 to go finally broke the scoring drought. Six points feels insurmountable for BYU.
A minute after McCarty’s basket, Kingston Flemings re-entered the game with four fouls.
Nick Bromberg
It’s the under-4 timeout with 3:50 to go … the last points of the game came with 6:35 remaining.
This has officially turned into a slog. Nick Bromberg
The freshman point guard heads to the bench as BYU cuts the lead to one. How long will Kelvin Sampson keep him out of the game?
Nick Bromberg
The Cougars haven’t made a shot from the field in over three minutes and have made just one of their last eight shots.
BYU has also turned the ball over 17 times. If Houston wasn’t shooting just 25% from the field, the lead could be double digits. Nick Bromberg
The Provo Cougars haven’t scored in the last 2:21 and are being outscored by six in the second half. However, as BYU hasn’t scored in that span, Houston has just four points.
Scoring has slowed considerably from a fun start to the second half.
Nick Bromberg
Dybantsa is 6-of-10 from the field and 7-of-8 from the free throw line as he leads all scorers. He just picked up his second foul with 13:54 to go.

Kansas State adds linebacker Colton McComb
It is safe to say Kansas State has it rolling a bit on the recruiting trail in the 2027 recruiting class. K-State has landed Edmond, Oklahoma linebacker Colton McComb.
The announcement from McComb comes while on an unofficial visit to Kansas State. It was the first time the linebacker had visited Manhattan and he was blown away by the Wildcats on his visit leading to his commitment.
McComb was a newer target of Kansas State when Collin Klein was announced as the new head coach. His recruitment was much more of the sprint variety. The Oklahoma native was offered by K-State January 16 by area recruiter Brian Lepak.
Shortly after his offer from the Wildcats, McComb was visited by Kansas State defensive coordinator Jordan Peterson who conducted an in-home visit with the junior. After the in-home visit, he scheduled a visit to Manhattan for this weekend where he pulled the trigger. The K-State defensive coordinator deserves a lot of credit for getting this commitment done for the Wildcats.
The junior held offers from Baylor, Boston College, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Purdue, Memphis and Tulane along with the offer from the Wildcats. McComb had official visits scheduled to Baylor and Kansas for the summer, but will no longer take those. Both Sooner State schools also wanted the junior linebacker, so he was a very wanted prospect on the recruiting trail. He is also the older brother of David McComb who began his college career at Kansas.
Overall, McComb is commitment No. 5 for Kansas State. At this point last year, K-State still had not received its first commitment yet. He joins the Wildcat class of defensive lineman Dawayne Jones, safety Julian Elzey, cornerback Nazir Pitchford and offensive lineman Canaan Smith. McComb is also the second Oklahoma native to join the class joining Jones.
