Nebraska is the first round leader with a 14-over par score of 302, followed by Duke (307), Arkansas (309), Oklahoma State (31o) and Tulsa (311) rounding out the top-five teams. Texas A&M, host Texas, Arizona State, Kansas State and Baylor round out the top-10 teams. TCU, Missouri, New Mexico State, SMU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Kansas conclude the field.
