The Big 12 Conference, one of the so-called "Power Four" conferences in college football but also with a rich tradition in both men's and women's basketball, holds its annual conference tournaments in KCMO every March. The winner of each tournament earns the conference's automatic berth in the NCAA Division I tournament. The men have played at the area's main indoor arena, T-Mobile Center (see "Music" listing for location), every year but one since 2008. The women have usually played elsewhere, but from 2021–2023 played at the older and smaller Municipal Auditorium, and moved to T-Mobile Center in 2024.
