FORT WORTH - TCU's draw for the 2013 Big 12 Men's Tennis Championship was revealed late Sunday night, with the Horned Frogs earning the No. 4 seed. The squad will open the tournament Friday at 9 a.m. against fifth-seeded Texas Tech at the Headington Family Tennis Center in Norman, Okla.
TCU concluded the regular season Sunday with a 17-8 overall record and 2-3 mark in Big 12 play. One of the squad's conference wins was a 4-3 home decision over Texas Tech on April 19.

The winner of Friday's TCU-Tech tilt will advance on to a Saturday semifinal matchup with top-seeded Baylor at Noon. The Frogs dropped their regular-season finale at BU on Sunday, as the Bears completed a perfect 5-0 run through their league schedule.
