FORT WORTH, Texas – The UCF men’s basketball team will play its first conference tournament as members of the Big 12 Conference as a No. 12 seed, matching up with 13th-seeded Oklahoma State for a 12:30 p.m. ET tip on Tuesday. The contest will be the first event of the 2024 Phillips 66 Big 12 Conference Championship.

Tuesday’s Oklahoma State vs. UCF game will be broadcast on Big 12 Now on ESPN+ from T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo. The tournament runs from Mar. 12-16.

The Knights beat the Cowboys just a handful of days ago, visiting Stillwater and leaving with a 77-71 win back on Feb. 28. The win at Oklahoma State was one of three UCF road wins this season.
