The Houston Cougars and Arizona Wildcats will meet for the second straight year in the Big 12 tournament final.

Arizona had the more stressful semifinal battle on Friday, as it needed a Jaden Bradley buzzer-beater to get past the Iowa State Cyclones.

Houston was far more dominant in its semifinal clash with the Kansas Jayhawks. Houston was ahead by double digits for most of the second half.

Houston is the reigning Big 12 tournament champion, but this year, Arizona owns the upper hand in the head-to-head battle. The Wildcats won the regular-season clash on February 21.
