Texas (13-5) and #11 Oklahoma (15-3) will meet up two more times in the regular season – as members of the Big 12 at least as each is headed to the SEC next season. OU has played three of their last four games on the road, so they’ll be ready to get back to the Lloyd Noble Center where they are 11-0 on the season. Texas also likes their chances at the upset though as winners of five straight in the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We know these two teams have a great rivalry on the football field, but they’ve played some pretty great basketball games over the last few seasons as well. The Longhorns have taken five straight in the series<\/a>, but four of those contests were decided by four points or less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the Longhorns want to cover the +5 and keep this another tight contest, they’ll have to avoid the emotional letdown that could come after Saturday’s 75-73 win over then #9 Baylor. The game was in Austin and Texas was a -3 point favorite, but Tyrese Hunter’s<\/strong> layup with 0.1 left to beat a top 10 team is still exciting. The Longhorns needed the victory too after dropping three of their previous four. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
