Day One of the event concludes with No. 7 Oklahoma State facing off with No. 10 Baylor at 4 p.m., before No. 6 Kansas State and No. 11 Houston close the night at 8 p.m.
Wednesday's four winners will advance to Thursday where the top-four seeds await. The winner of BYU and ASU will face No. 4 Arizona at 9 a.m. Thursday, followed by the Tech/UC winner facing No. 1 seed WVU at 12:30 p.m.
The winner between OSU/BU will face No. 2 seed Kansas at 4 p.m., while the KST/UH winner will get No. 3 TCU at 7:30 p.m.
