We also take the opportunity to look back at the missed opportunities by Texas against the Baylor Bears on the hardwood.

The Texas Longhorns had up-and-down weeks on both the men's and women's sides of the hardwood, turning in 1-1 performances, with both losses to the Texas Tech Red Raiders. It seemed both teams shared the same struggles, inconsistent play from the entire unit against a team that loves to beat Texas.

It also appears that the football coaching staff is starting to coalesce, at least if you can believe the Twitter profiles of the new coaches.

It was one of the biggest news Saturdays in Texas Longhorns history, as the basketball team went into Lawrence, KS and came away with a 25-point victory over Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks. The Longhorns played one of their best games of the season, with five different players scoring in double-figures while dominating the second half of the contest.

At the same time, Chris Del Conte made the long-rumored decision to part ways with Tom Herman before announcing Alabama Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian would take over at the helm.
