The last time a member of the Big 12 won a men’s college basketball national championship was 2022.
Kansas survived a furious North Carolina comeback to win the 2022 national championship game – its fourth program title and second under head coach Bill Self.
Big 12 National Championship History
Kansas and Baylor won back-to-back championships for the Big 12 in 2021 and 2022, cementing an era that has seen a deep, powerful Big 12 dominate college basketball in recent years.
Surprisingly, those were two of only three championships that have been won by the conference. Big 12 basketball is a relatively new phenomenon, having only just begun during the 1996-97 season with former members of the Big 8 and the Southwest Conference.
The Big 12 has had slightly more championship success in women’s hoops, where Baylor’s emergence as an elite program has delivered multiple national championships in Waco since the mid-2000s. The most recent of Baylor’s titles came in 2019.Â
