With the end of conference play approaching, here’s a look at the five best NBA prospects the Big 12 has to offer.

Despite a gutsy, complete game from senior pitcher Miranda Elish, No. 4 Texas fell 1-0 to the Duke Blue Devils in the fourth game of the Texas Invitational tournament. The loss was the first time Texas’ offense failed to score a run since May 23, 2019.

“When you’re playing West Virginia, it’s not going to be pretty out there," Texas head coach Shaka Smart said. "It comes down to your guards being able to make plays, and those guys made a lot of them tonight.”

The No. 5 Texas Longhorns returned to the 40 Acres Sunday afternoon after comfortably defending their home turf with a 6-1 win over Nebraska and a 4-3 win over UTSA to remain undefeated at home for the season.
