Texas vs. Baylor preview
Texas’ win over Baylor in the first matchup between these two teams this season snapped a seven-game losing streak for the Longhorns in this series that dated back to the 2018-19 campaign. Terry and the Longhorns will now be seeking the program’s first regular season sweep of the Bears since the 2013-14 season.
Winning in Waco hasn’t come easy for the Longhorns in the last decade, though. Baylor has won five games in a row over Texas in Waco, dating back to the 2016-17 season.
If Texas shows out as it did against Iowa State a few days ago, though, it will definitely have a shot to pull off the upset of Baylor this weekend. Baylor has not played its best basketball in the last week or so, and Texas might be able to take advantage of a down team to hold serve atop the Big 12 standings along with Kansas.
