It&#8217;ll be good for both programs and great for college basketball in our home state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Texas leads the all-time series 165-98, but Baylor has won 12 of the last 15 meetings.<\/p>\n<p>The programs faced each other at least once every season from 1909 through 2024 as members of the Southwest Conference and later the Big 12. Only 16 of the previous 263 meetings have been played at neutral sites, with the most recent coming in Kansas City in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets go on sale Oct. 1 following a one-day presale on Sept. 30. Fans can register through the Frost Bank Center website for event updates and presale access.<\/p>\n<p>Baylor&#8217;s last appearance in San Antonio came during the 2014 NCAA Tournament, when the Bears won two games to advance to the Sweet 16. Frost Bank Center is also scheduled to host the South Regional of the 2027 NCAA Tournament on March 25 and 27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Baylor and Texas will renew one of college basketball&#8217;s oldest rivalries when the two programs meet Nov. 15&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":382012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-382011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/382012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
