Texas will return to action on Tuesday night against Baylor, the undefeated No. 2 team in the country. The two will be playing against each other for the first time this season after the matchup in January was postponed due to COVID-19 problems.
The Bears are one of the deepest teams in the country with four players who average double figures. Jared Butler and MaCio Teague are the real stars, averaging a combined 31.7 points per game. Baylor ranks as the top Big 12 team in scoring, field goal percentage, three-point percentage, assists, steals, opponent’s field goal percentage, and opponents scoring. They can do nearly everything.
Shaka Smart confirmed the Longhorns should have everyone back who was out from COVID-19, including himself. Knocking off the Bears at home would not only get them back on the right track but bolster Texas’ NCAA Tournament seeding come March.
