Big 12 Tournament 2019: Round 1 Scores, Quarterfinals Bracket and Schedule

The Big 12 men's basketball season featured an unusual end, as Kansas did not claim at least a share of the regular-season title for the first time since 2004.

KU is therefore used to being the clear favorite entering the conference tournament, but that isn't the case this year. That distinction belongs to Texas Tech, who OddsShark listed as a +140 favorite ($100 bet to win $140) to hoist the trophy.

Here's a look at some first-round scores, the Big 12 tournament bracket and schedule, as well as quick recaps on the tournament's first two games Wednesday.

Round 1 Scores

No. 8 TCU 73, No. 9 Oklahoma State 70

No. 10 West Virginia 72, No. 7 Oklahoma 71

Bracket and Schedule

No. 8 TCU 73, No. 9 Oklahoma State 70

Junior guard Desmond Bane hit the game-winning three-pointer with 16 seconds remaining as No. 8 TCU beat No. 9 Oklahoma State 73-70 on Wednesday at the Sprint Center in Kansas City.

The Horned Frogs led by as many as 21 points in the second half and never trailed until the final 27 seconds. However, the Cowboys went on a 38-15 run to take a 70-68 advantage after free throws from junior guard Lindy Waters III.

But Bane responded with the go-ahead three to give TCU the lead for good. Waters missed a jumper to take the lead, and senior guard Alex Robinson closed the scoring with two free throws.

TCU sophomore forward Kouat Noi posted 20 points on 7-of-14 shooting with seven rebounds. Freshman center Kevin Samuel scored 14 points and grabbed a team-high nine boards.

Waters and freshman forward Yor Anei each scored 17 points for the Cowboys, who ended their season with a 12-20 record.

The 20-12 Horned Frogs will face No. 1 Kansas State on Thursday at 2:30 p.m. ET. ESPN2 will televise the game.

No. 10 West Virginia 72, No. 7 Oklahoma 71

Junior forward Lamont West scored a team-leading 15 points as No. 10 West Virginia beat No. 7 Oklahoma 72-71 on Wednesday at the Sprint Center in Kansas City.

With WVU up 72-69 and time winding down, Oklahoma senior guard Christian James nailed a buzzer-beating bucket. However, James' foot was on the line, and the Sooners lost by one.

Junior guard Jermaine Haley added a 14-point, 12-rebound double-double for the 13-19 Mountaineers, who will advance to play the No. 2 Texas Tech Red Raiders on Thursday at 7 p.m. ET.

Oklahoma sophomore forward Brady Manek led all scorers with 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting. Junior forward Kristian Doolittle added 18 points, nine rebounds and three blocks.

No team ever led by more than eight points in this back-and-forth affair. A three-pointer from WVU freshman forward Jordan McCabe gave the Mountaineers a 50-47 lead with 11:47 left, an advantage that the Mountaineers never relinquished.

However, WVU never led by more than six down the stretch and needed to hold off a few late OU charges. The Sooners cut the Mountaineer lead to one on five occasions in the final five minutes but could not take the lead.

Oklahoma can take solace in the fact that it's a shoo-in for the NCAA tournament as an at-large. The Sooners are safely in the field as an No. 8 seed, according to Bracket Matrix's aggregation of bracketologists' predictions. Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report listed OU as an No. 8 seed despite the loss.
