Texas Longhorns

The No. 25 Texas Longhorns will look to pick up their second conference win of the season on Saturday in Morgantown against the West Virginia Mountaineers.

The Longhorns (12-3, 1-1) are coming off of a thrilling 74-73 win over Cincinnati on Tuesday. Dylan Disu posted a career-high 33 points and Max Abmas bounced in the go-ahead jumper with 6.2 seconds left to give Texas its first conference win of the season.

The Mountaineers have lost five of their last six and are currently at the bottom of the Big 12 standings. West Virginia fell 81-67 to Kansas State on Tuesday. Led by interim head coach Josh Eilert, West Virginia has struggled to get things going in the first season without Hall of Fame coach Bob Huggins, who resigned and retired in June.

However, the Longhorns and coach Rodney Terry know that they can't underestimate any team in the Big 12.

"They're an extremely talented team," Terry said. "Josh has done a really good job of recruiting and putting together a really talented roster, one that you've got to come and really try to out-compete at a really high level."
