Here is the full slate of NCAA and NIT tournament games that involve Big 12 teams. There are seven conference teams in the NCAA tournament and one team, West Virginia, in the NIT.

The Mountaineers are in the Florida State bracket. If they win tonight against the Hoyas, they will take on the winner of Florida Gulf Coast-Florida State in Tallahassee (which will take place at the same time on ESPN2). That second round game will be determined later, and it could take place anytime between this Thursday through next Monday.
In the NCAA tournament, two Big 12 teams will have a pseudo-doubleheader on Thursday night (Oklahoma then Texas) and then the final five teams will be spaced out through all of Friday. The final Big 12 team to tip-off (and second-to-last in the entire tournament for the second round), similar to last season, is Iowa State.
Highlights in the NCAA second round include Texas against Arizona State, Baylor against Nebraska, Kentucky against Kansas State, and Oklahoma State against Gonzaga.
LIVE STREAM: All games will also be available online. West Virginia’s NIT tournament game will be live streamed on WatchESPN while all the NCAA tournament games are live streamed on NCAA March Madness Live.
