After a tough start to the Big 12 season against a Top 10 Kansas team, things don’t get much easier for the Cowboys on Saturday, as they welcome No. 14 Texas to town.

With a COVID-forced break, Oklahoma State is coming up on a month since its last win, which was Dec. 13 against Cleveland State. Texas brings back a ton of experience from last season’s squad that won the Big 12 Tournament and earned a 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Add to that, the Longhorns brought in Chris Beard from Texas Tech, and Texas should be a contender in the Big 12 this season.

Here are some stats and info to get you ready for Saturday’s game.
