After a close win over Texas Tech on Thursday night, the Longhorns had a day of rest on Friday due to Kansas withdrawing from the Big 12 tournament due to COVID-19 complications.
No. 3 seed Texas was favored to defeat No. 2 seed Kansas in the semifinals of the conference tournament. The Longhorns had already defeated the Jayhawks twice this season.
This is the first time that Texas has advanced past the quarterfinal round of the Big 12 tournament since 2014. They have never won a Big 12 title and this is their seventh appearance in the championship game.
Texas will face a hot Oklahoma State squad on Saturday. The two programs had close fought battles earlier this season, splitting the series 1-1.
