Big 12 Basketball Projections for 2026-27 Season

The Big 12 Conference is gearing up for the 2026-27 basketball season, with Arizona projected to win the title, facing competition from Houston and Kansas. Arizona had a successful previous season, reaching the Final Four after winning the league title and conference tournament.

Key players to watch include Tyran Stokes, a top prospect enrolled at Kansas, and Caleb Holt, expected to start for Arizona. Kansas coach Bill Self aims to return to the Sweet 16 after a few challenging seasons, while Houston looks to maintain its strong performance despite losing key players.

Other teams like Texas Tech and Iowa State are also in the mix, with Texas Tech's JT Toppin recovering from an injury and Iowa State's Tamin Lipsey returning for a fifth year. The Big 12 aims for a historic season, with hopes of sending ten teams to the NCAA Tournament.
