This was the first Big 12 Basketball Tournament to end with an overtime game. With the win, Kansas moved to 5–1 in the championship game, while Texas fell to 0–4. The 22-point comeback by the Jayhawks in the championship was the biggest in the tournament's history. The second-biggest occurred in the same tournament, when Texas came back from 18 down to defeat the Baylor Bears. This tournament was home to the lowest score in tournament history (39 by Nebraska against Oklahoma State), as well as the highest combined score (180 points in the Missouri-Baylor first round game).
