AUSTIN -- The Texas Longhorns will look to build off of their thrilling 75-73 win over then-No. 9 Baylor when they visit the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners at Lloyd Noble Center on Tuesday night.

This marks the second of four straight games for the Longhorns against current ranked Big 12 opponents. Texas is still looking to build their March Madness resume after a tough start to conference play. While the top-10 win over Baylor was a nice boost, things are only getting tougher from here considering how well the Sooners have been playing.

Oklahoma is led by guards Javian McCollum (14.9 points) and Otega Oweh (14.1 points). The Sooners are looking to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time under coach Porter Moser, who was hired in 2021.

The Sooners are coming off of wins over Cincinnati and West Virginia after dropping back-to-back games to TCU and then-No. 3 Kansas.

Texas forward Dylan Disu, who is averaging 17.2 points in Big 12 play, acknowledged after Saturday's win over Baylor that the matchup with the Sooners is "a big rivalry game."

"Win or lose, you have it for one day, one night," Disu said. "So tomorrow we have to come back in and watch what we did on film. ... We know that Oklahoma is a big rivalry game for not only us but them as well, and so we're gonna get their best shot. But that's what we came to Texas for and that's what we look forward to."
