Texas Longhorns vs Oklahoma Sooners: Final Regular Season Showdown

0:00On March 8th, the Texas Longhorns men's basketball team is wrapping up its first regular season under head coach Sean Miller with an 18-and, 12 overall record, and 98 in the SEC. Tonight marks their final game before the conference tournament as they host the Oklahoma Sooners at home in Austin. Coming off a tough row lost to Arkansas with a fell 105-85 at Bud Walton Arena, the Longhorns are eager to rebound. They trailed early and couldn't close the gap against the Razerbacks in that midweek match-up. Meanwhile, the Sooners enter with a 16-and-14 overall mark and 6-11 in conference play, but they've got some steam, winning there, last three games in a row. These rivals already met once this season, with Texas pulling out a 79-69 victory back in late January on the road. That win kicked off a five-game streak for the Longhorns and featured standout play from forward Dale and Swain, who dropped 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.

1:02Tipoff is set for 7.30pm at the Moody Center, and a sweep of the series could give Texas a strong finish heading into the SEC and NCAA tournaments.
