Texas hopes to get its season back on track and pull off an upset when it hosts No. 9 Baylor on Saturday afternoon.
The Longhorns have lost three of their first four games in Big 12 play, including back-to-back defeats against West Virginia and UCF. Their lone win in conference play came against Cincinnati, and Texas needed a Max Abmas jumper in the final seconds to top the Bearcats.
Abmas, the Oral Roberts transfer, has been a consistent force for the Longhorns this season. He leads the team averaging 17.8 points per game.
Baylor ripped off three straight wins to start conference play, but fell to Kansas State on Tuesday in overtime, 68-64. The Bears shot just 33% from the field and went 5-of-28 from beyond the arc.
Baylor thrives on a balanced attack, as six different players score at least 9.5 points per game. Freshman Ja'Kobe Walter leads the way, averaging 14.8 points per contest.
The two teams appear headed in opposite directions. Baylor sits in a four-way tie atop the Big 12, while Texas is tied for 12th, one game above last-place Oklahoma State.
