AUSTIN, Texas – The UT Tower will be drenched in burnt orange lighting on Monday evening in recognition of The University of Texas Men's Tennis Big 12 Conference regular season title.
Per UT tradition, the UT Tower is bathed in burnt orange lighting from top-to-bottom when a University of Texas athletics team wins a conference championship.
Under head coach Michael Center, seventh-ranked Texas (20-5, 4-1 Big 12) won its seventh Big 12 regular season title and first since 2010. The Longhorns closed out the regular season with an undefeated record at home (11-0), seven wins over top-25 opponents and 12 wins in the last 14 regular season matches.
Junior Søren Hess-Olesen and sophomore Nick Naumann both went undefeated (5-0) in Big 12 singles competition at their respective positions to earn individual conference titles.
The NCAA Men's Tennis Championship bracket will be announced on Tuesday at 4 p.m. Central on NCAA.com. The top 16 teams host the first and second rounds on their home court.
