The Tigers (9-4 overall and 5-3 in Big 12 play and North Division champions) will play Dec. 29th in San Antonio, Texas, against the 22nd-ranked Northwestern Wildcats (9-3, 5-3 [4th in the Big 10]).  The game will kickoff at 7 p.m. (central) from the Alamo Dome and will be televised nationally on ESPN and aired on the Tiger Network.
