This is Baylor's final Big 12 series. Bears must win at least two in order to feel like they have a chance to make the Big 12 tournament. Kansas (7-14) has a non-con series with Samford this weekend then finishes next week at Texas Tech. The Bears can't finish in a tie with the Jayhawks because they were swept in Lawrence March 31-April 2.
But TCU needs this series because projections have them missing the NCAA tournament. It is a rivalry so we'll see what happens at Lupton Stadium in Fort Worth.
