WACO, Texas - The Baylor volleyball team is still fighting for consideration for a 2014 NCAA Tournament selection, and the next step in that process is a home match with No. 23 Kansas State, Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Ferrell Center.

The Bears are coming off a four-set win vs. TCU at home Wednesday, which pushed Baylor to 14-13 overall and 4-8 against Big 12 competition. Baylor's last NCAA Tournament selection came in 2011 with an 18-15 overall record and a 5-11 mark in Big 12 competition. The Bears' match with KSU is the first of four remaining matches in the regular season.

Kansas State (20-6, 7-5) enters Saturday with a three-match losing skid. The Wildcats lost at Iowa State Nov. 5, at No. 5 Texas Nov. 7 and at home to Kansas Wednesday. Still, since losing to Baylor Sept. 27 to open the Big 12 season, the Wildcats are 7-5 in conference play and are tied for third place in the Big 12 standings.

Baylor knocked off the Wildcats in Manhattan, Kan. to open the Big 12 season. A win Saturday night would be the first season sweep for the Bears over the Wildcats since 2010.

In association with Friday night's basketball doubleheader, Baylor fans that bring their ticket stub from either the women's or men's basketball games will receive free admission to Saturday's volleyball match. In addition, the first 100 students in the door Saturday will receive the "Blackout" shirts in association with Nov. 22's Baylor football game vs. Oklahoma State at McLane Stadium.

Fans can watch and listen to Baylor's Internet broadcast of the match on BaylorBears.com/AllAccess and can follow the team all season long on the Twitter handle @BaylorVball.
