AUSTIN, Texas – The University of Texas Tower will be lit in burnt orange with the number '1' on Monday, March 31, to celebrate Texas Men's Swimming and Diving's 2025 NCAA Championship.

Fans are encouraged to arrive in front of the Littlefield Fountain on 21st Street from 8-8:30 p.m. CT to watch the team take group photos.

Per UT tradition, the campus landmark is lit in burnt orange from top-to-bottom with the number "1" lit on all four sides when a University of Texas athletics team wins an NCAA team championship.

The Longhorns totaled 490 points to win the program's 16th NCAA title and it's first under first-year head coach Bob Bowman on March 29 in Federal Way, Wash.
