Coming out of a six-game stretch against ranked opponent, the Texas Longhorns play a second straight game at the Moody Center on Saturday against the West Virginia Mountaineers, the 13th-place team in the Big 12 at 3-6 in conference and 8-14 overall, the league’s worst mark.
But the narrative isn’t just about taking care of business in Austin against a team with an 11-percent win probability, according to BartTorvik.com — this contest is about the Longhorns reversing a trend of four losses in the last five home games after losing at the Moody Center once last season and recovering from the abominable 76-73 loss to West Virginia last month in Morgantown.
