The following is a look at the seasons in which a Big 12 Conference men’s basketball team has reached the Final Four and how the last weekend of those seasons played out.
Although the conference has been around since the 1996-97 season, it has yet to see a basketball school crowned as champion.
Kansas, making its 13th Final Four appearance of all-time and third in the Big 12 era, has a shot to be the first this weekend in San Antonio, Texas.
