Big 12 MBB Preview: 1/1

West Virginia (11-1, 0-0) and #17 Texas (10-2, 0-0) start off Big 12 conference play in Austin. The Longhorns have a roster full of talent that hasn’t quite congealed yet under new head coach Chris Beard. They have beaten the teams they should beat but haven’t secured a top 25 win yet. While the Mountaineers aren’t a top 25 team yet, I feel pretty confident that they will be soon regardless of the outcome of this game. Texas has been averaging slightly more points per game and slightly less points against, so statistically they seem stronger but the Mountaineers have made more of their big games, securing a top 15 victory over UConn already.
