Big 12 Tournament Notes:
- Daily summaries: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5
- The Big 12 Conference tournament splits the field into two pools. Each pool plays a round-robin tournament. The team with the best record in each pool will move on to the Championship Game on Sunday. In the event of tied records, the tie-breaker is based on head-to-head results from the tournament; if more than two teams are tied for the top spot within a bracket, the highest seeded team will advance.
- The 10-run rule is in effect for all games except the Championship Game.
- Game 13 (the Championship Game) will air on FSN.

| Bracket 1 | Bracket 2 |

(2) Cal State Fullerton (3) LSU (6) *Virginia (7) *Arkansas |
(1) Texas (4) North Carolina (5) Arizona State (8) *Southern Miss |
