The Knights remain among the best for another week while continuing to sit at the top of the Big 12.  The Black and Gold only trail TCU, who made a jump to No. 2, and Baylor who sits at No. 9.

Other representatives from the league include Arizona (15), Arizona State (25), Oklahoma State (36), BYU (53) and Texas Tech (75). Now entering the thick of conference play, the Knights only have one unranked opponent left on their schedule in Utah.

Yassine Dlimi and Wissam Abderrahman also spend another week in the rankings as single competitors. Dlimi once again made a jump in the singles list, soaring to No. 71 following last weeks contests. Abderrahman remains within the top 100, keeping the pace at No. 83.

The Knights are set to face two programs from Utah this week in the Utes and the Cougars on Thursday and Saturday respectively at the USTA National Campus.
