WACO, Texas (AP) – Kim Mulkey and Baylor could face some familiar postseason foes if they keep winning games as the top seed in the Dallas Region.

Also in that region are No. 3 seed Louisville and No. 4 seed Texas A&M, their former Big 12 rival. Those teams beat the Big 12 champion Lady Bears when they were a top seed in past NCAA Tournaments.

“Well, I’m not going to talk much about those guys because we all have to win to meet up in the Dallas Region,” Mulkey said with a smile after the brackets were revealed Monday night. “But isn’t that funny. Those two guys had our number the last times we played.”

Pac-12 champion Oregon State (28-4), which has won 18 of its last 19 games, is the No. 2 seed.

A potential second-round opponent is Auburn, the last unranked opponent to beat the Lady Bears on their home court – 13 years ago in the WNIT final. That was the only of Mulkey’s 16 seasons they didn’t make the NCAA Tournament.
