The Big 12 took a hit with Baylor’s 101-63 loss to Gonzaga on Monday.
With a truncated nonconference schedule this season, the Big 12 has limited opportunities to show the NCAA Tournament committee they’re the best Power 4 conference in college basketball.
No. 4 Houston can repair much of that damage by beating No. 11 Auburn on Saturday night.
Follow our live updates and in-game analysis from Houston’s matchup with Auburn at the Toyota Center in downtown Houston. The game is now scheduled to tip off just after 9 p.m. CT.
