Iowa State doesn’t go on their tournament until right around Christmas when they head to the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii. However, Texas, Kansas State, and West Virginia, among others, begin their tournaments this week.

Many teams are still in the regional hosting rounds, but Kansas State will make their trek to Puerto Rico for a Friday morning tip-off to start the Puerto Rico Tip-off. Some highlights on the schedule include a top-11 matchup between the Memphis Tigers and Oklahoma State Cowboys on Tuesday night in Gallagher-Iba Arena. Also, the Cyclones, with their AP top 25 ranking, will be going on the road for the first time this season against the BYU Cougars on Wednesday night.

Rankings reflect latest AP poll. Central times are listed and TV network assignment immediately follows. Due to the length of the non-conference basketball schedule in the Big 12, weekdays (Mon-Thu) and weekends (Fri-Sun) are separate.
