*****Texas vs. West Virginia*****

[Aaron Carrara]

Texas squares off against #6 West Virginia at 6 pm CST on ESPNU.

Tonight's game is the first of a pair of road games against Top-10 ranked opponents. The 'Horns will face Kansas in Lawrence on Saturday.

The Mountaineers are undefeated at home.

Important stretch for Shaka Smart and the guys.

And FWIW Joe Lunardi currently has Texas tagged as an 11-seed.

Important game for the horns

I think this game, and Kansas, are important, not because we have to win them, but we need to stay competitive in them.  That will build confidence for these guys.

WVU tied w/ Texas at 7 a piece, 11:33 left in the first half. Texas already with 9 fouls.

HALFTIME:  Texas 28, West Virginia 25

Both teams well under season averages in scoring at the half.  WVU scores 84.2 ppg, Texas at around 74 ppg.

That sucks

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Taylor with only 4 points thus far.  If you told me Texas would be leading 42-35 with 9:00 left to play and Isaiah with only 4 points, I wouldn't believe it.
