The last time Longhorn Corey Knebel pitched against Missouri, earlier in May, he lost after teammate Kirby Bellow made two errors at first base in the 11th inning.

Knebel lost to the Tigers again on Wednesday, but not because of any lapses in the field.

Missouri smacked Knebel around, knocking him out of the game in the fifth inning of a 5-0 Tigers' victory in the first round of the Big 12 tournament.

Hurt its Case: Texas (30-21) -- The Longhorns felt good about their chances against Missouri with hard-throwing right-handed pitcher Corey Knebel on the mound. However, the talented righty had a tough night on the mound, allowing five runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings in a 5-0 loss to Missouri. UT has an RPI in the 50s, and though it finished Big 12 play with a respectable record, going 0-2 at the Big 12 tournament with losses to Missouri and Kansas could spell doom. Stay tuned.

The opening-round matchups are A&M vs. KU and Mizzou vs. UT, but there will likely be some rival showdowns along the way. And they're going to be fun, if only for one last time.
