The bracket has been decided for the 2019 Phillips 66 Big 12 Women’s Basketball Championship which will be played at Oklahoma City’s Chesapeake Energy Arena from March 8-11.
Baylor earned the top seed after winning its ninth-consecutive and 10th overall Big 12 regular-season title. The Lady Bears (28-1, 18-0) became the sixth Big 12 program to finish the conference undefeated and joined the 2012-13 Baylor squads as the only two programs to complete the regular season unscathed in back-to-back years. Currently, BU is ranked No. 1 nationally and was recently named the top team in the NCAA’s Top-16 Reveal earlier in the week.
Other seeds include No. 2 Iowa State, No. 3 Texas, No. 4 West Virginia, No. 5 Kansas State, No. 6 TCU, No. 7 Oklahoma State, No. 8 Oklahoma, No. 9 Texas Tech and No. 10 Kansas. Seeds 7-10 will open the Championship in the first round on Friday while seeds 1-6 earn a first round bye and begin play Saturday.
The Phillips 66 Big 12 Women’s Basketball Championship returns to Oklahoma City for the seventh time and makes its fifth appearance in six years at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Eight different teams have won the previous 22 women’s championships, led by Baylor with nine titles. Last season, the Lady Bears captured the trophy with a 77-66 victory over No. 2-seed Texas.
