KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Heading into the final day of the regular season, some possibilities for the Big 12 Tournament seedings are fairly straightforward.

That’s the last at the top and bottom of the pile, as Houston will take the top overall seed unless Iowa State win, the Cougars loss to Kansas and Texas Tech beats Baylor.

At the bottom, Oklahoma State needs either a win or a West Virginia loss to avoid the 14 seed, which would otherwise go to the Mountaineers.

But with the standings tightly bunched behind Houston and Iowa State, there are hundreds of other possibilities.

Here’s a team-by-team breakdown of each team’s scenarios ahead of Saturday’s slate of action:
