TCU has been on a roll in the new era of Big 12 basketball, but the title this week in Kansas City is truly anybodys to grab.Heres everything you need to know heading into the Big 12 womens basketball tournament this week.TCU wins the Big 12, againTCU ran through the Big 12 slate once again this year. The Horned Frogs picked up a second straight regular season title after going 27-4 on the season and 15-3 in league play. Olivia Miles led the way with 20.1 points, the third-best output in the Big 12, and 6.9 rebounds per game. Though TCU has won in back-to-back years now, and won the tournament last season, this years event in Kansas City looks far from straightforward.West Virginia earned the No. 2 seed after narrow losses to TCU this season, one of which came on a buzzer-beater back in mid-January. The Mountaineers ended the season with a 58-point beatdown over Cincinnati, too. Baylor isnt far behind, though the Bears fell to TCU by double digits in the final game of the regular season.And while they missed out on the double-bye, dont count Audi Crooks and Iowa State out. The Cyclones, after starting the season on a 14-game win streak, are more than capable of making a decent run in the tournament behind Crooks who has averaged 25.6 points and 7.8 rebounds per game this season. Only Vanderbilt's Mikayla Blakes is averaging more points per contest in the entire country. Crooks is coming off a 41-point double-double in their regular season finale, too, which marked her fourth 40-point outing all year.While the conference is undoubtedly down nationally TCU is projected to be a No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament by ESPN in the highest outing for any Big 12 team entering the postseason the Big 12 tournament should be very entertaining.Big 12 womens basketball tournament basicsWhen: March 4-8Where: T-Mobile Center | Kansas City, MissouriTV: ESPN, ESPNU, ESPN+The Big 12 women's basketball tournament bracket is set.
