All three doubles matches went to tiebreakers, and No. 1 Oklahoma came out on top when Axel Alvarez and Jose Salazar combined to beat Guillermo Nunez and Hudson Blake on court 3, 8-7 (5).

The Sooners extended their lead to 2-0 when Spencer Papa won 6-0, 6-1 on court 5. TCU responded with a pair of victories to even the match, as Cameron Norrie won in straight sets on court 3 and Facundo Lugones secured a straight-set win on court 4. Oklahoma's Florin Braguis pushed TCU to the brink by clinching his match against Will Stein in a second-set tiebreaker on court 6. Nunez then swept the third set on court 2 to again tie the match. Alvarez then finished off the Horned Frogs with a 7-5, 7-6 (5) win over Nick Chappell on court 1.
