The No. 1 seed Texas Longhorns got off to a rough start in the Big 12 Tournament on Wednesday in Oklahoma City, falling to the No. 8 seed West Virginia Mountaineers 5-1 to set up an elimination game at 12:30 p.m. Central on ESPNU.
Texas will face the loser of No. 4 seed Oklahoma State and No. 5 seed Oklahoma.
Facing West Virginia’s No. 1 starter Jackson Wolf for the second time in less than a week, Texas only managed five hits and five walks as Wolf struck out seven and pitched the first complete game for the Mountaineers this season. AT 6’7 and with a low release point, Wolf was able to confound Texas hitters with a fastball that never reached much above 90 miles per hour.
Wolf s gem sends Mountaineers to 5-1 win over top seed Texas

It’s that time of year when the NFL Draft previews start popping up, and so far two Kansas State players have had the attention of sportswriters.
In today’s pile of stories, Andrew Parish of Last Word on Sports has Briley Moore pegged for a sixth-round selection, while Mia O’Brien of WTLV in Jacksonville is dead certain that if he’s still around in the seventh round the Jaguars will snap him up. As for Wyatt Hubert, Ian Cummings at Pro Football Network thinks he might have some value to certain teams in the seventh round, but isn’t sure he’ll be drafted.
