No. 1/1 Baylor Seeks Fifth Big 12 Postseason Title...
The top-ranked Baylor Lady Bears, NCAA Division I’s top-ranked team with a 31-1 overall record and an 18-0 mark in league play, set their sights on a fifth Big 12 Tournament crown since 2005. Baylor claimed its fourth outright Big 12 regular season championship and third straight crown, as BU’s first title came in 2005 with a 14-2 league record, followed by first-place finishes of 15-1 in 2011 and 18-0 in both 2012 and 2013. Baylor won the postseason championship and the Big 12’s automatic NCAA Tournament bid in 2005, ‘09, ‘11 and ‘12.
Baylor seeks to become the first team to win three straight Big 12 Championship titles and the first team to win the postseason crown five times. Baylor is making its seventh appearance in championship game.
