The Texas Longhorns (17-4, 6-2 Big 12) held steady at #10 in the newly released AP Top 25 Men's Basketball Poll released Monday, despite an 11 point loss to Rick Barnes' now #2 Tennesse Volunteers on Saturday.

Texas welcomes a surging Baylor team that has won 12 of their last 13 games against the Longhorns.  Baylor is is 6-1 in Austin since 2016.  

While the Longhorns sit in a 3-way tie for first place in the Big 12 (along with Iowa State and Kansas State), the Bears are close behind in a tie for second along with the jayhawks and Horned Frogs.  A win tonight at the Moody Center would stifle a red-hot Baylor team and keep the Longhorns in the co-driver's seat for a regular-season first place finish.

What:  #10 Texas Longhorns vs. #11 Baylor Bears
When:  Monday, January 30th, 2022
Venue:  Moody Center
Location:  Austin, Texas
Time:  8:00 PM CST
TV:  ESPN

Last meeting between these two teams:  Baylor defeated Texas 68-61 (February 28th, 2022 - Austin, TX)
Series Record:  Texas Leads Baylor 163-96

Longhorns' record at Moody Center:  11-1

The one thing I like about this team is that they scrape, scratch and claw every game.  Even in the loss against Tenn they kept fighting. 

Love to see Mitchell more active tonight. 

Rice has been tearing it up lately. 

Would like to see Morris get a little more run and rest Carr for the end of games because he is proving to be clutch.

Hopefully this game helps Hunter gain his confidence back.

You know, a lineup I would like to see together at some point is Hunter, Morris, Cunningham, Mitchell and Bishop and just run it up and down.  Then bring back Carr, Rice, Allen and Disu to slow the pace down and grind.  Not the whole game, but in spurts.

With our win tonight and ISU losing in OT to Tech; we are sitting alone atop the conference. Now, tomorrow night's game between KSU and KU, we could either be tied with the team we are playing Saturday or 1 game up.

Need to see Hunter playing the defense on Saturday and next Monday like he did tonight. 

We are 12-1 at home so far this year. 

Do wish we had closed the deal in getting George, this kid is a player.

What a nice win!  That’s the Hunter I saw at the beginning of the year!  Disu gets better and better.   I also liked seeing the two freshmen get minutes.

I don’t know how well Terry would perform in all the duties of a head coach… but with regard to how he manages a game as a head coach, it’s tough to find fault.

Agree.

hate to say this, but Beard getting fired was probably the best thing to ever happen to Terry as far as his career goes.  I know he has been a solid Asst Coach and was ok as a HC, but managing this team through the turmoil would be tough on anyone.  You can tell the team is playing for him.
