WACO, Texas – After closing the regular season on Saturday evening, the Baylor men’s tennis squad has earned the No. 6 seed for the Big 12 Men’s Tennis Championships, held on Friday-Sunday in Stillwater, Okla., at the Greenwood Tennis Center.



Facing TCU (20-3 (5-2 Big12)) for the third time this season, the Bears (18-10 (2-5 Big 12)) look to add their 26th Big 12 Championship in program history, a title that starts with the quarterfinal match on Friday at noon.



Advancing out of the quarterfinal matchup, BU would then face the winner of the Texas Tech (9-14 (1-6 Big 12)) and Oklahoma (19-3 (6-1 Big 12)) match. Baylor defeated Texas Tech, 4-1, in Waco, but fell to the Sooners in Norman, 4-0.



Texas received the top seed for the tournament, boasting the only perfect conference record on the year at 7-0. The Longhorns defeated No. 2 seed OU, 4-1, and the No. 3 seed TCU, 5-0, on the way to claiming the lone Big 12 regular season champion title.



Baylor claimed the 2021 and 2022 tournament titles under head coach Michael Woodson and took the 2014 and 2019 championships after being the last team standing seven times in eight seasons between 2002 and 2009.
