Longhorns Need Win Over Tigers

After a 1-4 stretch against the top teams of the Big 12, the Longhorns are scrambling for a home win and looking for that win against the Tigers. The win could possibly put them back onto the NCAA Tournament bubble.

In the past two weeks, Texas has lost by 4 at No. 24 Kansas State, by 3 at No. 7 Kansas and by 5 at No. 5 Baylor. Now the Longhorns are sitting at 13-8 and have only one more chance to get the type of signature conference victory that would put them back into the national spotlight and onto the NCAA tournament bubble.

The Longhorns play No. 4 Missouri tonight in Austin, two weeks after they lost 84-73 to the Tigers in Columbia.
