The 2024 Big 12 Women's Basketball Tournament was a postseason women's basketball tournament for the Big 12 Conference. It was played from March 7âÂÂ12, 2024, in Kansas City, Missouri at T-Mobile Center. The winner received the conference's automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA Tournament. Due to a major conference realignment that significantly impacted the Big 12, this was the first and only tournament with 14 teams participating. At the beginning of the 2023âÂÂ24 season, BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF joined the conference. This was the final appearance in the tournament for Texas and Oklahoma before they joined the Southeastern Conference for the 2024âÂÂ25 season. The conference increased to have 16 schools in the 2024âÂÂ25 season, as Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah joined the Big 12, respectively from the Pac-12 Conference. The tournament was sponsored by Phillips 66.
Because of conference re-alignment, the 2024 was different from those before and after it. The tournament was the first and only one with the 14-team bracket format as the Big 12 expanded to 16 teams in the 2024âÂÂ25 season. All fourteen teams participated in the tournament. The top ten teams received a first round bye and the top four teams received a double bye, automatically advancing them into the quarterfinals.
Teams were seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.
