UPDATE 2026-03-09 Here is the link to the Big12Sports.com Official bracket, finally available after the rest of sport media had theirs published on Sunday, most of them Sunday morning.
NO SURPRISES - the mred unofficial bracket and the official bracket agree.

Last Edit: 14 hours 34 minutes ago by HawkErrant. Reason: added link for the Big12Sports.com official men's bracket; corrected UH seed in bracket comments from 4 to 2.

I added the link for the official Big12Sports.com bracket to the OP.

The official bracket agrees with the unofficial one published in the OP.
(Always good to know the tools you've been using are properly calibrated).

I plan to use the Big12Sports.com bracket for posting updates as it will be easier than trying to do the graphics myself.
