Only one regular season tournament remains for the No. 23 Longhorns as they seek their fourth top five finish in five spring events at this weekend’s PING/ASU Invitational in Tempe, Arizona.
The No. 6 Longhorns (35-4) will welcome Iowa State (18-19) to Red and Charline McCombs field this weekend for a three-game series as the first of five straight series against Big 12 opponents to end the season.
The Longhorns, with a 1-1 conference record, continue Big 12 play this Saturday as the travel to Fort Worth to take on the Horned Frogs of TCU as part of their five-match Big 12 schedule.
For Rick Barnes, the end of the year means putting a 16-18 record behind them and shifting focus to the future. It also means figuring out who’s going to be on his team.
However, it has been years since the last time Texas made an appearance at this signature event. In order to have a truly successfully season this year, the Longhorns need to make their way back to the WCWS.
