Overall records include all games played in the Big 12 Conference tournament.[1]

†Baylor removed itself from postseason play, including the conference tournament, before the 2003–04 season due to the Baylor University basketball scandal. Because of this, Texas Tech got a bye in the first round of the tournament. This would be the first time in the history of the tournament that all the conference's member teams did not participate; it would not happen again until 2022, when Oklahoma State did not participate in the tournament due to an NCAA-imposed postseason ban.
