Baylor women’s basketball earned the No. 4 seed and a hosting bid in the Spokane Regional of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, as announced during the Selection Show on Sunday evening.

Head coach Nicki Collen’s Bears (27-7; 15-3 Big 12) are set to take on No. 13 seed Grand Canyon (32-2; 16-0 WAC) in the first round at Foster Pavilion on Friday, March 21; the time is yet to be determined. If Baylor were to win its Round of 64 matchup, the Bears would face the winner of No. 5 Ole Miss (20-10; 10-6 SEC) versus No. 12 seed Ball State (27-7; 16-2 MAC).

Baylor is making its 21st-straight NCAA Tournament appearance and 23rd appearance overall. The Bears are 57-19 all-time in the Big Dance and have made 16 trips to the Sweet 16, including last year when Collen’s squad narrowly fell to the No. 1 seeded USC Trojans. Baylor’s 21st-consecutive appearance is the third-longest active streak in the country behind Tennessee (43) and UConn (36).

The Bears will be back near full strength for March Madness, as star forward Darianna Littlepage-Buggs (Jr.), who missed seven straight games to close the season with a knee injury, will return.

Glad the committee got it right and we get to host over Ole Miss.

Now I think we're all hoping we get an evening start time on Friday.

The hosts that day consists of 5 schools in the Eastern Time Zone (South Carolina, Duke, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Kentucky), 2 schools in the Central Time Zone (Baylor, TCU), and 1 school on the West Coast (UCLA).

Assuming UCLA gets the late-late start, it stands to reason that both TCU and Baylor would be in the running for the regular prime time games.

Garbage.

Could have at least put the Ole Miss game first.

And to boot, we'll be up against TCU and South Carolina at the same time.

From an unbiased standpoint, our game probably had one of the most intriguing storylines of the Friday matchups.
