Hoping to remain as a projected No. 2 seed, the No. 7 Texas Longhorns can help secure that favorable NCAA Tournament positioning by winning at least one game in the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City at the T-Mobile Center, an effort that begins on Thursday against the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
The No. 2 seed for the Longhorns is their highest in the conference tournament since 2011.
Head coach Mike Boynton’s team advanced out of the first round with a 57-49 victory over Oklahoma on Wednesday, an ugly win buoyed by holding the Sooners to 25-percent shooting from the field and 26.
