SMALL TURNOUT: Tuesday’s practice sessions were free and open to the public inside the Sprint Center. The eight teams that practiced drew modest gatherings.

Kansas leads the way with six Big 12 Tournament titles. OU has won three titles and OSU has won two, which came consecutively from 2001-05. Texas is 0-5 in title games.
