The Texas Longhorns will travel to Baylor to try to pull off an upset over the #6 Bears in a Big 12 showdown. Texas will definitely have their hands full with Baylor’s stifling defense. The Bears only give up 60.6 points per game (10th in the country), while the Longhorns score 69.9 points per game (258th in the country).
Last week, Baylor (16-1, 4-1 Big 12) was named the #1 team in the country for the first time in their school’s history. They didn’t keep the top spot for long, though, as #10 West Virginia smoked them 89-68 in their very next game. But they rebounded nicely from their first loss of the season, beating #25 Kansas State on the road 77-68 on Saturday.
This season has been a total nightmare for the Longhorns, as they are 7-10 overall and 1-4 in the Big 12. They’ve lost three straight and five of their last six games, and it’s extremely difficult to imagine Shaka Smart’s squad being able to turn things around.
Now that you know a little bit about the matchup, let’s break down all of the ways you can watch the game.
