LIVE UPDATES: No. 20 Texas vs. West Virginia

AUSTIN -- No. 20 Texas (20-8, 9-6 Big 12) travels to Morgantown to take on West Virginia (14-14, 3-12) Saturday afternoon in what will be the second meeting between the two teams this season.

The Longhorns are coming off a gutsy comeback win at home against TCU on Wednesday. Despite trailing by as many as 10 in the second half, the Horns managed to pull out a 75-66 win behind 21 points from Andrew Jones.

West Virginia heads into Saturday's matchup as the last-place team in the Big 12 standings. The Mountaineers have lost five in a row, including a tough 84-81 loss to Iowa State on Wednesday.

The difference in record doesn't seem to phase Texas and coach Chris Beard though, as the Big 12 is arguably the best conference in the country.

"West Virginia's three of four wins away from getting to the NCAA tournament," Beard said Wednesday. "Whenever you play against a coach Huggins' team, the records really don't mean much. It's one of the toughest places to play in the country. We'll have to play our best 40 of the year.”
