Tulsa and surrounding details place the tournament in mid-to-late May 2026, featuring a bracket with first-round games, followed by quarterfinals and semifinals, leading to the final [sources indicate the Surprise, AZ site and 12-team structure for 2026].[2][3]
- The bracket and schedule in mid-May 2026 show Oklahoma State, UCF, Kansas, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Arizona State, Baylor, BYU, TCU, Texas, Kansas State, and Oklahoma as participants in various seedings and matchups, with games televised on ESPNU and ESPN+, culminating in later rounds around May 21–25, 2026.[1][2]
