Congrats to Jalin Flores!
The Horns will attempt to get a game in tonight, despite the weather as they welcome in the Jayhawks of Kansas. Both teams are looking to improve their positioning in the Big 12 standings to get a better seen for the Big 12 conference tourney that begins on Tuesday. In addition, the Horns are looking to help solidify their 2 seed and potentially get sent to a more forgiving Regional, while Kansas is looking for a big road series win to help propel them into tournament consideration.
As mentioned, weather could be an issue tonight, so will keep everyone updated on anything I hear.
