Big 12 Basketball: No. 6 Texas vs. No. 23 Iowa State preview and projections

The Longhorns boast a 15-1 record at the new Moody Center this season.

No. 6 Texas hosts No. 23 Iowa State on Tuesday for a matchup with significant Big 12 title and NCAA Tournament implications.

Texas sits tied at the top of the Big 12 Conference standings with the Kansas Jayhawks with four games remaining in the regular season. Iowa State is still in the hunt for the league title, just two games back from first place.

Iowa State got the better of Texas in the first game between the two back in January. The Cyclones used a considerable second-half effort to take down the Horns 78-67 in front of a sold-out home crowd.

Road games have given Iowa State trouble down the back half of the season. The Cyclones have lost six straight away from home and only have one Big 12 road win on the year.

On the flip side, Texas has been phenomenal at home this year. The Longhorns boast a 15-1 record at the new Moody Center.

If recent trends continue, Texas has an excellent shot at picking up another Big 12 Conference win.

Texas Longhorns Basketball: Big 12 releases conference schedule

The Big 12 released the conference schedule on Wednesday afternoon. A few trips are of note, mainly Beard’s first trip back to Lubbock.

For some people, the basketball season began as soon as football lost to Arkansas on Saturday. There may even be more hype surrounding first-year head coach Chris Beard than there was on the gridiron.

The Big 12 released the conference schedule on Wednesday afternoon. A few trips are of note, mainly Beard’s first back to Lubbock. Nobody wearing burnt orange will be safe in Lubbock on Tuesday, Feb. 1. The Red Raider faithful has a bone to pick with their former head coach.

February will have a fun four-game stretch of Kansas, at Baylor, at Oklahoma, and Texas Tech. All four of Texas’ opponents internally believe they can compete for a Big 12 regular season championship. No easy nights.

A trip to Lawrence to face Kansas and a home match against Baylor will close out the season. At the very least, Beard’s squad will be battle-tested heading into March.

Here is Texas’ full conference schedule for the 2021-2022 basketball season.
