<p class="MsoBodyText" align="left" style="text-align:left"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Bears earned the No. 5 seed in the tournament by placing tied for fourth at the Colonial Collegiate Invitational. BU tied TCU and Kansas for fourth place, and the
tiebreaker to determine seeds was the better final-round score, leaving TCU at No. 4, Baylor at No. 5 and Kansas at No. 6.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Texas Tech, No. 6 Kansas and No. 7 Oklahoma State. Kansas State, which would’ve been the No. 7 seed, withdrew from the tournament, allowing Oklahoma State, West Virginia and Iowa State to each move up one seed line.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
