Texas has had this game circled on its schedule since suffering its worst loss of the season, an 80-63 humbling at College Station. That is no lie. And though Texas A&M had a five-game winning streak heading into the weekend, the Aggies turned around and handed Oklahoma State its first road win in 20 tries. That's not a good omen.
DeAndre Jordan, the 7-foot A&M freshman who is being projected as a top-three NBA draft pick, has underachieved for the most part, with averages of 9.2 points and 6.4 rebounds. Jordan now finds himself coming off the bench.
AJ Abrams suffered an elbow injury in the Saturday game against Baylor. But he should be ready to go for this one. He has recently gotten very hot for the 'Horns, with consecutive totals of 20, 22 and 25 points. And Texas has the best player on the floor with point guard DJ Augustin. Remember, the Longhorns are still best in the NCAA with only 9.4 turnovers a game.
