Suddenly 7-5 on the season following three losses in the Astros Foundation College Classic and a disheartening 9-2 splattering by the No. 7 Texas A&M Aggies in Austin on Tuesday, the No. 24 Texas Longhorns travel to Lubbock to open Big 12 play with a critical series against the No. 17 Texas Tech Red Raiders.
The four-game losing streak is the worst since 2019 for head coach David Pierce’s team, which finds itself desperate for some level of consistency facing its first true road trip of the season.
“When we pitch, we don’t play defense,” said Pierce on Tuesday.
