The Longhorns finish the regular season coming in third in the Big 12.
with a clean sweep, the No. 25 Texas Longhorns turned their attention south to the city of Houston. While it wasn't a game they were playing, the finale between Houston and Oklahoma State had massive implications for the Big 12 Tournament.
An upset win by Houston would have seen the Longhorns finish second in the conference and therefore award them the No. 2 seed in the tournament. Getting that No. 2 seed would have meant a bye on Tuesday, with their first game coming instead on Wednesday night.

That would not be the case, however, as Oklahoma State handled the Cougars in dominant fashion with a 9-2 victory in the second game of their doubleheader. That win securedthe No. 2 seed and pushed the Longhorns down to the No. 3 seed. Their first game will come in the nightcap on Tuesday against the No. 10 seed Texas Tech Red Raiders at 7:30 p.m. CT.between the two to kick off its conference schedule.
