Big 12 seeding at stake as No. 8 Texas hosts No. 3 Kansas to end regular season
on Wednesday night. Those defeats clinched yet another outright Big 12 regular season title for No. 3 Kansas and dropped Texas from a tie for first into a three-way tie for second with Baylor and No. 11 Kansas State heading into the final weekend of the regular season.
Due to the conference’s tiebreaker procedures, the Longhorns will land the No. 2 seed in next week’s Big 12 tournament in Kansas City with a win and a loss by either Baylor or Kansas State . If Texas, Baylor and Kansas State all win, the Longhorns will be the No. 3 seed. If Texas loses and Baylor wins, the Longhorns will be the No. 4 seed.
A win over Kansas on Saturday would likely secure Texas’ spot among the selection committee’s top eight teams and grant the Longhorns an outside shot at nabbing a No. 1 seed if they go on to win the conference tournament for the second time in three years. That, of course, will be a tough task — Kansas is 15-5 in its past 20 games against Texas, though it has lost two straight in Austin.
