To be honest, TCU was a shock.

I think anyone who has watched them over the last couple of years, they had been no doubt they had talent and really underperformed. I’m not shocked that you insert a good coach in and give them a minute to figure out lineups, establish culture, etc. That then they have them playing at a high level.

Five Big 12 programs were selected to the 2022 NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship, the second consecutive season over half the league has made the 64-team field. The percentage is the highest of any conference in the country. Texas was announced as the No. 1 overall seed and is the Big 12’s automatic qualifier. Baylor is a four-seed while Iowa State is a six-seed in the bracket. Kansas and TCU also received bids.

This is the second time in program history that Texas has entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 seed and the 13th time since 2007 that the Longhorns are one of the top-4 national seeds. UT won a conference-record sixth consecutive Big 12 title, finishing 15-1 in league play and 22-1 overall. Texas held the top spot in the RPI in all eight rankings this season and will face Fairleigh Dickinson at 8 p.m. CT in Austin, Texas Thursday, Dec. 1.

Baylor has earned an at-large bid to its seventh postseason in a row, a program record. The Bears (23-6, 12-4) finished runner-up in league play, marking the sixth consecutive season that Baylor has finished in the top two of the Big 12. BU will match up against Stephen F. Austin in Waco, Texas at 7 p.m. CT Thursday, Dec. 1.

Iowa State (19-11, 10-6) heads back to the tournament for the 16th time in Cyclone history, with 15 happening under head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. ISU will take on Florida Gulf Coast at 3:30 p.m. CT Friday, Dec. 2 in Gainesville, Florida.

Kansas (18-10, 8-8) returns after a Sweet 16 trip in 2021, marking the 11th time the Jayhawks have made the field. KU is paired with seventh-seeded Miami (Fla.) for a 4:30 p.m. CT match Thursday, Dec. 1 in Lincoln, Nebraska.

TCU will make its fourth appearance in program history and its first since 2016, led by first-year head coach Jason Williams. The Horned Frogs (16-10, 11-5) finished third outright in the Big 12 standings for the first time in program history while setting a program record for Conference wins in TCU’s 11-year Big 12 era. TCU will play eighth-seeded Washington in Madison, Wisconsin at 4:30 p.m. CT Friday, Dec. 2.

New for this year, the top 32 teams were seeded nationally in pods of four and placed within four regions. Per the established bracketing principles, the top seeds are provided the opportunity to host. Additionally, team pairings are determined within the pods (ones paired with eights, twos paired with sevens, threes paired with sixes and fours paired with fives) and assigned geographically within their pods, with the exception that teams from the same conference are not paired during the first and second rounds.

First- and second-round matches will be played Dec. 1-3 at 16 campus sites. Teams winning both matches will continue to regional play Dec. 8 & 10. Regionals for the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship will be held at four non-predetermined campus sites, which will be announced Dec. 4. At each site, four teams will compete in single-elimination regional semifinal competition.

The regional winners will advance to the national semifinals and championship final hosted by Nebraska in conjunction with the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority (MECA), Dec. 15-17 at CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska. The national semifinal matches will be broadcast on ESPN, and the championship match will air on ESPN2.

TCU’s Audrey Nalls (Offensive), Kansas State’s Mackenzie Morris (Defensive) and Baylor’s Averi Carlson (Rookie) acquired Big 12 Volleyball awards for the final week of the regular season.

Nalls led TCU players in points (18), kills (12) and aces (5) to help the Horned Frogs sweep Oklahoma, TCU’s first 3-0 win of the year. Her five service aces were a career-high, while she had the highest service aces (1.67) and points (6.00) per the set in the league. The 2020-21 Academic All-Big 12 team member leads the Big 12 during league play in both points (4.80) and kills (4.36) per set while guiding TCU to its highest Big 12 win total (11) in program history. The Waxahachie, Texas native has led the Horned Frogs to their fourth NCAA Tournament appearance and first since 2016. This is Nall’s fourth Offensive Player of the Week recognition, the most by a player this season, tying her for third all-time in a single season while having the most for a season in TCU’s history.

Morris tied the season-high single-match dig total for the league and had a career-best mark with 36 digs in a five-set win over Texas Tech. The junior’s tally was the most in a single match for K-State since 2019 and marks only the fifth Wildcat in program history to gather 36 digs or more in a single match. The 2021 Academic All-Big 12 First Team member followed with nine digs against No. 17 Baylor to average 5.63 digs per set, the third highest in the league during the week. This is Morris’ third career Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week title and her first this season.

Carlson led BU in both assists (29) and digs (12) for the regular-season closing sweep over Kansas State, her sixth double-double of the season. The 2022 Preseason Big 12 Freshman of the Year ranked fourth in assists (9.67) and tied for fifth in digs (4.00) per set during the week. This is her fifth Rookie of the Week honor this season, surpassing Yossiana Pressley for the most in Baylor history and tying for third all-time for a season in the league record book. Carlson and the Bears will host first and second rounds for the 2022 NCAA DI Women’s Volleyball Championship starting Thursday, Dec. 1.
