Previous season
The Wildcats finished the 2025–26 season 19–18 overall and 8–10 in Big 12 play, to finish in a tie for eleventh in the conference along with rival Kansas. As the No. 12 seed in the Big 12 tournament, they defeated No. 13 Cincinnati in the first round, upset No. 5 Texas Tech 58–51 and No. 4 Oklahoma State 74–73 in the second round and quarterfinals respectively, before losing 62–74 to top-seeded TCU in the semifinals. They became the lowest seed to make it to the semifinals in tournament history.
Following their unprecedented tournament run and eventual elimination, the Wildcats earned an at-large bid to the WBIT, where they were seeded No. 2 in the North Dakota State Bracket. They narrowly defeated unseeded Georgia Tech 69–65 in the first round, before falling to No. 3 California in the second round to end their season.
