(I plan on continuing to use and update this thread and post as, hopefully, the Buffs advance in the tournament.)
It's a couple days until Buff women's basketball (18-11 overall; 9-9 in Big 12 play) have their 1st tourney game in their (re-)new conference at the 2025 Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship as they face off at Kansas City’s T-Mobile Center with the #16 seed Houston Cougars (5-24, 1-17) early Wednesday afternoon.
(The winner of Wednesday's game is scheduled to play at the same time (12:30 PM MT) the next day (Thursday) against the #8 seed Arizona Wildcats.)
All tournament games are on the ESPN platform, with all slotted for ESPN+ except for 2 of the 3rd round (Friday) games, which are scheduled to be on ESPNU, and the final which is scheduled for ESPN. (Links and more information about coverage for each CU game will be added as they hopefully advance is further down in this post.)
In the current NET rankings (dated 3/1/25, https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-women/d1/ncaa-womens-basketball-net-rankings), CU is #58, while the Cougars are at #176. (Potential 2nd round opponent Arizona is at #55.)
Go Buffs!!!
