Following Baseball’s series sweep over the weekend, the Longhorns currently sport a 11-5 advantage in the 2024-25 points standings. Only 2.0 total points remain in this year’s competition, as Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track and Field points will be on the line at the SEC Championships on May 15-17.

This marks the seventh time in nine all-time Showdowns that the Longhorns have claimed the rivalry series trophy. The Showdown originated prior to the 2004-05 season and lasted through the 2011-12 season. The competition was reimagined as the Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown prior to the current 2024-25 season. Texas has now earned Lone Star Showdown wins in 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2024-25.
