2020 Big-12 Tournament Predictions

Here are my predictions for the 2020 Big-12 Tournament. The tournament will be held at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.

First Round
3/11- (9) Iowa State (12-19; 5-13) vs (8) Oklahoma State (17-14; 7-11)- 7:00, ESPNU
Prediction: Oklahoma State

3/11- (10) Kansas State (10-21; 3-15) vs (7) TCU (16-15; 7-11)- 9:00, ESPNU
Prediction: TCU

Quarterfinals
3/12- (5) Texas Tech (18-13; 9-9) vs (4) Texas (19-12; 9-9)- 12:30, ESPN2: The winner of this game I strongly feel will make it in to the Big Dance and I think it will be the Red Raiders due to the fact I trust Chris Beard more than Shaka Smart, who I think could be out of a job regardless whether the Longhorns make the NCAA Tournament or not.
Prediction: Texas Tech

3/12- (8) Oklahoma State vs (1) Kansas (28-3; 17-1)- 2:30, ESPN2
Prediction: Kanasa

3/12- (7) TCU vs (2) Baylor (26-4; 15-3)- 7:00, ESPN2
Prediction: Baylor

3/12- (6) Oklahoma (19-12; 9-9) vs (3) West Virginia (21-10; 9-9)- 9:00, ESPN2: This is a sneaky good Quarters game we got here. I'm going to roll with the Mountaineers here led by freshman Oscar Tshiebwe.
Prediction: West Virginia

Semifinals
3/13- (5) Texas Tech vs (1) Kansas- 7:00, ESPN2: The third time around with this matchup will result in the same result as the first two did as the Red Raiders will likely settle for an at-large bid.
Prediction: Kansas

3/13- (3) West Virginia vs (2) Baylor- 9:00, ESPN2: The Mountaineers just knocked off the Bears over the weekend, but I think the Bears are the better team and want to secure a 1-seed.
Prediction: Baylor

Championship
3/14- (2) Baylor vs (1) Kansas- 6:00, ESPN: This is a fantastic championship game as these two teams will have a rubber match. I think the better team is the Jayhawks led by Udoka Azubuike and Devon Dotson as they'll have the number one overall seed locked up.
Prediction: Kansas
