Tournament Betting Odds for Big 12: Wagering Insights and Best Places to Place Bets
Big 12 Tournament Predictions
Yo, hear me out on this year's Big 12 Tournament! The Houston Cougars are leading the pack with odds of 120, followed closely by Texas Tech at 425. Other teams like Arizona, Iowa State, BYU, Kansas, Baylor, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Kansas State, TCU, Utah, Arizona State, Central Florida, Colorado, and Oklahoma State all have their odds posted too.
Kickin' off in Kansas City, expect some serious action from these teams from March 7-12. The last three conference tournament champions have all come with less than +500 odds, with Texas taking the highest at +900 in the 2020-21 tournament. Houston or Texas Tech could very well be cuttin' down the net this year!
If you're in Missouri, you might be wondering how to get in on the action. Well, even though their regulated betting market hasn't launched yet, there are online betting sites out there that you can use. And if you're in Texas, Utah, or Oklahoma (where half of the Big 12 teams reside), there are college basketball betting sites that are legal to use as well.
Now, for those teams in states with college betting restrictions – Arizona State, Arizona, Iowa State, West Virginia, Cincinnati, UCF, and Colorado – you'll sadly find that there's a limitation when it comes to betting on college player props. So, yeah, that's a bummer, but it is what it is.
In terms of history, Houston's and Texas Tech's tournament records aren't extensively covered in the available data, but the Big 12's overall dominance in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, driven partly by Houston’s championship-game appearance[1][5], suggests a competitive strength. For more precise historical tournament records and odds, it's best to consult dedicated sports databases or recent betting odds platforms.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Big 12 Tournament and happy wagering, folks!
