The West Texas measles outbreak continues to see more confirmed cases and, on Wednesday, the outbreak's first death. Weather could play a role.

LUBBOCK, Texas — A child who was not vaccinated has died from measles in West Texas, the first death in an outbreak that began late last month and the first from measles in the U.S. since 2015.

The Houston Cougars clinched a share of the Big 12 regular-season title for the second straight year Monday with a 69-61 win over Texas Tech. Kelvin Sampson 's squad left a parting message for the Red Raiders shortly before the Cougars left Lubbock.

Declining vaccination rates, decreasing trust in government and a political unwillingness to endorse vaccines is shaping Texas’ measles response.

Former Red Raider and current Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was greeted with thunderous cheers as he was shown on the video board in his seat next to the Texas Tech bench along with his wife, Brittany.

Houston is in fantastic shape when it comes to clinching the Big 12 Conference regular-season championship. The Cougars can take another huge step on Monday night, while getting some revenge in the process as they travel to face Texas Tech.
