Go Big 12
Several Big 12 head coaches were sitting in the front row, opposite the team benches for Saturday’s Final Four.TCU’s Jamie Dixon, Texas’ Chris Beard, Baylor’s Scott Drew, and West Virginia’s Bob Huggins were all together watching the Jayhawks move the conference into the national title game for the second year in a row.
It also marked the third consecutive NCAA Tournament that a Big 12 program reached the title game, with Texas Tech going in 2019, no tournament in 2020 and Baylor winning it all in 2021.
Huggins, who recently received word that he had been elected into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, also was sitting just a few seats down from former Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger.
