GAME LOG: No. 19 Texas Blown Out 8-1, Drops Big 12 Championship Game to Oklahoma

Well, it all comes down to this one folks. The Texas Longhorns take on their Red River rivals the Oklahoma Sooners for the Big 12 Tournament title. While Texas has likely done enough in the tournament so far to secure a top-16 seed and a regional host site, a win over Oklahoma in the title game could push the Longhorns into a top-eight seed nationally.
