Awful result, especially for a team with so many young players. Wake had a good start to the year, but the wheels have completely fallen off. There's always next year

3 days into the week and 3 more top 10 losses after TAMU takes a bad loss to a really average Arkansas team. With 2 top 10 teams matching up tomorrow we are going to get at least 1 more Top 10 loss this week. Probably more. Crazy year

Huge game for Houston. Had a good chance to win in Dallas several days ago, but came up four points short. Have to make the Polo Ponies pay tomorrow. Eat 'em up!

I took Houston so props to them. Just another typical CBB night this year. 2, 12 go down and 15 on the ropes at home. Standard stuff this year

hot dog I'm happy with the Horns. Went on the road and won another, beating #15Baylor 67-59.

So different than the past regime- the team is getting better as the season progresses. Now tied for first in Big12 at 6-3.

Interesting stat of the game: 21 for 21 assists to buckets made. Only 10 TO's.

Unranked Texas team beat a ranked Baylor team at their place in both football and basketball this season.

It has been a while since we could say that for both sports.

Great win for them.
