Texas and Baylor Renew Their Rivalry Sunday in San Antonio: The 264th Meeting, and the Longhorns' First Trip There Since 2003
No. 7 Texas (3-0) meets Baylor at Frost Bank Center at 2 p.m. Sunday in the San Antonio Hoops Showdown — the old rivals' first meeting since Texas left the Big 12.
AUSTIN — Texas and Baylor play basketball against each other again on Sunday, and it takes a neutral floor in San Antonio to do it. The San Antonio Hoops Showdown tips at 2 p.m. Central on Sunday, Nov. 15, at Frost Bank Center, televised on the ESPN family of networks, in the 264th all-time meeting between the two programs.
Texas holds a 165-98 lead in the series, the most-played rivalry in the Longhorns' history, but the teams have not met since 2024, when Texas played its final season in the Big 12 before moving to the SEC. Sunday also marks Texas's first appearance in San Antonio since the 2003 NCAA Regional at the Alamodome, where the Longhorns beat Connecticut and Michigan State to reach the Final Four.
The Longhorns arrive 3-0 and ranked No. 7. On Monday night in Austin they ran Grambling State out early, scoring 30 of the game's first 35 points on the way to a 93-62 win; center Matas Vokietaitis scored 26 points with nine rebounds and leads Texas in scoring at 21.3 points per game through three games. Head coach Sean Miller is in his second season in Austin.
Across the floor, Baylor head coach Scott Drew is in his 24th season in Waco, the fifth-longest tenure among active head coaches in the nation, and Baylor's last San Antonio trip, in the 2014 NCAA Tournament, ended in the Sweet 16. Tickets for Sunday's game are on sale through Ticketmaster. The desk files the result within 45 minutes of Sunday's final.
