The Big 12 basketball season is nearing its final stretch with most teams having 7-8 games left. Here is an updated look at the conference standings.
The 2025-26 college basketball regular season is nearing the end, with most Big 12 teams having 7-8 games left before the conference tournament begins. Will the No. 1 team in the country, Arizona, slip up and let the regular season title slip away, or will the Wildcats cruise into March with a perfect record?
As mentioned above, the Arizona Wildcats ranked No. 1 in the latest AP Poll, lead the conference with a 10-0 Big 12 record and an impressive 23-0 mark overall. They're followed by Houston (AP No. 3), Iowa State (AP No. 5), Kansas (AP No. 9) and Texas Tech (AP No. 16).
Some major matchups this week could prove to be deciding factors, beginning with the top-ranked Wildcats taking on the Jayhawks at the Allen Fieldhouse. A win would open the door for another team to make a run at the regular-season title. Other major upcoming matchups include Iowa State hosting Kansas (Feb. 14) and Arizona hosting Texas Tech (Feb. 14).
