in next week’s Big 12 men’s basketball tournament in Kansas City. This will be the program’s highest seed since it was last a No. 2 seed in the 2011 tournament. Texas will face either No. 7 seed Oklahoma State or No.
10 seed Oklahoma on Thursday at 6 p.m. in the quarterfinals. The Longhorns swept their season series with both the Cowboys and Sooners. The Longhorns beat Oklahoma twice by just 3 combined points, including a frantic 85-83 overtime win at the Moody Center on Feb. 18. They beat the Cowboys by double digits twice in January. If Texas advances to the semifinals, it will face either No. 3 seed Kansas State or No. 6 seed TCU. The Longhorns split their season series against the league’s two purple programs. And if the Longhorns manage to advance to the title game for the second time in three years, they will face one of No. 1 seed Kansas, No. 4 Baylor, No. 5 Iowa State, No. 8 West Virginia or No. 9 Texas Tech. But Texas’ performance in Kansas City probably won’t have a significant influence on how the NCAA Tournament selection committee seeds it once Selection Sunday arrives next week. Texas likely positioned itself as a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament regardless of what happens next week in Kansas City. The Longhorns are 10th in the NCAA NET rankings, a key tool the committee uses to compare teams during the seeding process. Texas finished the regular season with 11 Quadrant 1 wins, tying fellow Big 12 member Baylor for the second-most in the nation behind Kansas .
