TCU (5-1) has won nine straight matches vs. Baylor (4-1) dating back to 2023. Thursday's match is the first of potentially four meetings between the regional rivals this season.

The back-to-back duals are fans' last chance to catch TCU on the purple courts for some time. Following Friday's match, the Frogs will not compete at home again until March 15 vs. Texas Tech. TCU opens the outdoor portion of its season with four straight road affairs following Indoor Nationals.
