Texas plays host to an up-and-coming UTSA program on Saturday night.
The Longhorns enter this matchup fighting the injury bug. Starting quarterback Quinn Ewers is expected to miss a few weeks with an SC sprain. Quarterback Hudson Card (ankle), running back Bijan Robinson (shoulder) and defensive back D’Shawn Jamison (ankle) are all questionable with injuries of their own.
Steve Sarkisian’s squad needs to avoid falling into a trap game after last week’s hard-fought loss to Alabama. UTSA is capable of leaving Austin with a victory if Texas plays flat.
UTSA won 12 games a year ago and is one of the most experienced teams in the nation. Roadrunner quarterback Frank Harris leads a high-powered offense that averages 38 points per game.

Texas looks to defend its Big 12 tournament title starting on Thursday.
No. 22 Texas is looking to get back on track in the Big 12 tournament quarterfinals against TCU.
The Longhorns finished the regular season losing two hard-fought matchups against No. 3 Baylor and No. 6 Kansas. Texas will look to boost its NCAA tournament resume and defend the Big 12 tournament title from a season ago.
Texas has gotten the better of TCU over the past seven matchups, including a season sweep this year but the Frogs have been one of the hottest teams in the country down the stretch. They have won games against No. 14 Texas Tech and No. 6 Kansas.
Both teams are seemingly a lock for the NCAA tournament but making a run in Kansas City would help each teams resume out tremendously.

No. 20 Texas looks for revenge against No. 11 Texas Tech on Saturday.
No. 20 Texas looks for revenge against No. 11 Texas Tech on Saturday. The Red Raiders dominated the first matchup two weeks ago in Lubbock.
Texas Tech controlled the entirety of the game, holding Texas to just 32% shooting in the 77-64 win.
Since then both teams are 3-1 and have set themselves up nicely for the NCAA tournament.
The X-factor for Texas will be its frontcourt play. With the departure of Tre Mitchell, Timmy Allen and Christian Bishop will need to continue their strong play for the Longhorns to stand a chance. Those two combined for 36 points and 10 rebounds in Tuesday’s victory over Oklahoma.

Texas travels to Waco for a top 20 showdown against Baylor.
No. 20 Texas looks to constitute its hot stretch against the defending national champions on Saturday.
The Horns have won five of their last six, including three wins over ranked opponents.
No. 10 Baylor has been a bit inconsistent over their past few games. They were blown out by 23 points against the conference-leading Kansas Jayhawks before bouncing back nicely against Kansas State.
Winning this game would go a long way for each team in regards to NCAA tournament seeding and the Big 12 conference race.
Baylor is only a half-game back of Kansas to the conference lead and is currently sitting as a No. 2 seed according to ESPN’s bracketology. Texas is 1.5 games behind Kansas but the Horns have all three teams in front of them left on the schedule. ESPN has Texas as a projected No. 4 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Mark Adams and No. 14 Texas Tech have picked up right where Beard left off in Lubbock. The Red Raiders are 16-5 with wins over Baylor, Kansas and Iowa State.
The atmosphere in Lubbock has been a major advantage this season for Texas Tech. The Red Raiders boast an impressive 13-0 record in front of their home crowd.

No. 14 Texas looks to improve to 3-0 in Big 12 play.
No. 14 Texas is looking to continue its hot start to conference play against the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday.
The Longhorns are coming off double-digit wins over West Virginia and Kansas State while the Cowboys look to bounce back after a home loss to No. 6 Kansas.
The last time Texas and Oklahoma State faced off was in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament Championship in Kansas City. Texas was able to defeat Cade Cunningham and the Cowboys 91-86.
Both teams have faced significant turnover since then. Texas has brought in Chris Beard and seven transfers in an effort to rebuild the roster. The Pokes are still looking for someone to step up in place of last year’s No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham.
