The start to the Big 12 slate didn’t go as planned for the Texas basketball program on Jan. 4. Texas fell short to the uber-talented and No. 6 ranked Baylor Bears by the final score of 59-44 on the road at the Ferrell Center. That Big 12 opener loss to Baylor moved Texas to a record of 10-3 (0-1 Big 12) on the season.
Texas was not the only Big 12 program with hopes of making an NCAA Tournament run this year and with a bevy of talent on their roster to get off to a horrid start in conference play.
