With the recent hiring of Shaka Smart, there is a lot of excitement surrounding the future of the Longhorns men’s basketball team’s upcoming season. Early Monday, the school released the program’s 2015-2016 non-conference schedule.
Home contests against perennial national powers North Carolina and Connecticut, a season-opening trip to China to face Washington and a road contest against Stanford highlight the 2015-16 University of Texas basketball non-conference schedule released today. The Longhorns also will make an appearance in the prestigious Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas over Thanksgiving and host Vanderbilt in the Big 12 / SEC Challenge.
