Notes:
• No. 2 Texas is looking to wrap up its first undefeated Big 12 Conference season since 2013 and just second in the program's history at No. 18 Baylor on Saturday in Waco. The Longhorns are coming off of back-to-back sweeps of No. 16 Kansas and Oklahoma at home.
• Through 15 conference matches, sophomore Micaya White leads Texas in kills (192) and service aces (17), senior Chiaka Ogbogu leads in blocks (95) and hitting percentage (.409), freshman Ashley Shook leads in assists (610), and senior Cat McCoy leads in digs (244).
• With the win over Oklahoma on Wednesday, the Longhorns clinched the 2017 Big 12 title, their 10th title overall and 23rd conference title in program history.
• Texas owns a 102-47 (.685) record against ranked opponents over the last 11+ seasons (2004-16) and a 49-11 (.817) mark against ranked opponents at Gregory Gym during that span.
• A victory against Baylor would complete a second undefeated Big 12 season for Texas.
• Having swept Baylor in in Austin previously this season (Sept. 27), Texas faces its first matchup with a ranked Baylor team in Waco since Nov. 21 2008 (3-0). Texas is 79-2 all-time against Baylor and 33-2 against the Bears in Waco.
