The No. 2 Texas Longhorns are now eight days away from starting Big 12 play in Lubbock against the No. 17 Texas Tech Red Raiders, affording head coach David Pierce’s team one more weekend series in non-conference play to serve as a tuneup for the conference schedule.
After spending 10 of the last 11 games away from UFCU Disch-Falk Field, the Longhorns host the Incarnate Word Cardinals this weekend trying to gain momentum after snapping a three-game losing streak on Wednesday with a win over The Citadel Bulldogs in Charleston. Texas is 5-0 against Incarnate Word in Austin, but have never faced the Cardinals in a weekend series.
