With only 3 weeks remaining until the Big 12 Conference Tournament in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, many teams are fighting for their seeds, rather than their chance to play. With 7 of 10 teams at or above .500 in conference play, the only battle for a spot is between 9-12 Texas Tech and 6-11 Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State, ranked 26th by the NCBWA, plays host to surprise-team Kansas State, while Texas Tech is idle while the school tends to final exams. The series of the weekend is the battle for I-35, with #10 Texas pitting themselves against #24 Baylor in Austin and Waco. Game 1, which will be in Austin, is scheduled to be on ESPNU Friday evening, with an 8:05 PM start time. Games 2 and 3 will be in Waco at the Baylor Ballpark. Kansas travels to Norman, Oklahoma to play the #11 Oklahoma Sooners while Missouri and Nebraska do battle in Lincoln, Nebraska. #17 Texas A&M will host in-state foe Dallas Baptist, while Texas Tech is off until May 6th.
