Coming out of Saturday’s 82-61 blowout loss to the then-No. 3 Houston Cougars, the Texas Longhorns return to the Moody Center for a Big Monday matchup against the Kansas State Wildcats with six games remaining in the regular season — since four of those opponents are ranked, that makes Monday’s game another must-win contest for head coach Rodney Terry and his team.
Adding to the pressure is the 2-4 record for Texas at home in Big 12 play, a mark made more frustrating by the ability the Longhorns had to protect the Moody Center court last season, dropping only a single game to the Wildcats.
