AUSTIN (KXAN) — No. 10 Texas will host Texas Tech for the first time Saturday night at the Moody Center.

The Longhorns (14-2, 3-1 Big 12 Conference) are seeking their third straight win as they try to keep pace with the Kansas Jayhawks, the only undefeated team in Big 12 Conference play after they downed Iowa State 62-60 on Saturday.

Texas will face a Texas Tech team who has struggled since Big 12 play began and are winless in conference play.

Despite the Red Raiders’ issues, the Longhorns don’t expect to sleepwalk through this one.

“We’re not taking them for granted at all,” senior forward Dylan Disu said. “We know they’re going to come in motivated to try to get that first win, especially on the road against Texas.”

Texas Tech is known for its physical style of play on the defensive end of the floor. Texas fancies itself as a defensive team, too, so things won’t come easy for anyone.

“I knew I was coming into a physical conference, best conference in the country in my opinion,” freshman forward Dillon Mitchell added. “Like RT (Texas Interim Head Coach Rodney Terry) says, ‘you’ve got to work the game for 40 minutes,’ so every game we’re coming out hard just like this most recent game, we’re down early but it’s 40 minutes.”

Texas and Texas Tech will tip off at 7 p.m. inside the Moody Center.
