Texas men’s basketball hosts OU Wednesday, hopes to remain undefeated at home

By Colby Gordon

After Texas opened Big 12 play with a “thud” Saturday at Baylor by shooting 34 percent and getting out-rebounded, 48-35, during a 59-44 loss, the offensive side of the ball was the focus during coach Shaka Smart’s Tuesday press conference to preview Wednesday’s home game against Oklahoma.

While a road loss at the No. 6 team in the country, which Baylor is in the latest rankings, isn’t a cause for concern in and of itself, it marks the second straight opponent from a major conference against which UT has scored fewer than 50 points following a 70-48 loss Dec. 21 at Providence. The Longhorns were also out-rebounded by 13 in that contest, 52-39.
