It would’ve been a season-changing win for the ‘Horns, but instead it was a loss by the largest margin of the season.

Texas Longhorns basketball (12-7, 3-4 Big 12) was buried by 35 points to the No. 6 West Virginia Mountaineers (16-3, 4-2 Big 12), falling 86-51 in Morgantown.

The story of Texas’ first half showcased some of the ‘Horns’ strengths, but mostly the team’s weaknesses.

The good news was that Mo Bamba’s four first half blocks kept the Mountaineers away from the paint in the early stages of the game, and the ‘Horns were able to showcase their athleticism with some nice transition buckets.
