The Baylor Bears and the Texas Longhorns are set to clash on November 15 at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, in a highly anticipated Hoops Showdown that will be the 264th meeting of a rivalry that dates back more than a century.
A Renewed Chapter in a Century‑Old Duel
The game arrives amid a period in which Baylor has edged Texas in twelve of the last fifteen contests, even though the Longhorns hold a historic 165‑98 advantage in the all‑time series.
Head coach Scott Drew, who has guided Baylor through a resurgence in recent years, expressed enthusiasm about the atmosphere that the neutral‑site event will bring to San Antonio, noting that the venue’s capacity and historic significance will add a special dimension to the contest.
Tickets will become available to the public on October 1, with a one‑day presale scheduled for the preceding day, giving fans an early opportunity to secure seats for what is expected to be a packed house.
The Hoops Showdown is being produced by Intersport, a Chicago‑based sports marketing firm that will oversee the event’s logistics and promotion, adding a professional layer to the historic rivalry.
Beyond this single matchup, the Frost Bank Center is slated to host the South Regional of the 2027 NCAA Tournament in March, underscoring its growing role as a hub for national basketball events in the region.
