Rodney Terry and the No. 21 Texas Longhorns are back at the Moody Center on Friday for the penultimate non-conference game of the 2023-24 season as they host the UNC Greensboro Spartans.
Dating back to the opening of the Moody Center last season, Texas has only lost one game in its friendly confines with a 7-0 record this season with an average margin of 22.9 points, largely a function of an exceptionally weak non-conference schedule that currently ranks No. 318 nationally in KenPom.com’s adjusted efficiency metric despite games against No. 1 UConn and No. 13 Marquette.
Given the strength of the Big 12, that might not necessarily be concerning in a vacuum with the national perception from AP writers still strong enough to slot into the Top 25, but an early Bracketology this week from ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has the Longhorns on the bubble as a No.
