The Baylor Bears baseball team has gotten off to a strong start this season, but has struggled to finish series on the road. This weekend, they'll head to Houston to take on the Cougars, hoping to turn their fortunes around and earn their first Big 12 series victory.

Why it matters

Baylor has shown promise early in the season, but their inability to win road series has prevented them from capitalizing on their strong start. A series win against Houston, a fellow Big 12 contender, could be a turning point for the Bears and set them up for success in conference play.

The details

The Bears have gotten off to fast starts in their road series this season, only to falter over the weekend. They'll look to reverse that trend against a tough Houston squad that has also had an up-and-down start to the year.

  • The series against Houston will take place from March 27-29, 2026.

What’s next

If Baylor can earn a series win against Houston, it could provide the momentum they need to make a push in Big 12 play and potentially earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

The takeaway

Baylor's early-season struggles on the road have prevented them from capitalizing on their strong start. A series win against a fellow Big 12 contender in Houston could be just what the Bears need to turn their season around and make a run at the conference title.
