Probably the biggest matchup of the day in the Big 12 comes first as #4 Texas (9-1, 3-0) takes on #14 West Virginia (9-3, 2-2). The Longhorns are off to a red hot start to their season, bolstering a near perfect record with their only loss coming to Villanova. They have a win over North Carolina and a blowout victory in Lawrence over Kansas. West Virginia, on the other hand, might need to dampen their expectations just a smidge. While they hung tight with Gonzaga and have a couple of quality wins, they are 2-2 in Big 12 play with a blowout loss to Kansas and a close loss to Oklahoma.
