The start needed for the Texas basketball program this season was delivered on Nov. 5, with an emphatic 24-point home victory at the Frank Erwin Center over the Northern Colorado Bears. Head Texas basketball coach Shaka Smart continued his winning streak that he started in the NIT last season by beating Northern Colorado on the Forty Acres earlier this week.
There was a lot to talk about with that win over Northern Colorado. Potentially the most inspiring story to ever come out of this men’s basketball program was the recovery from Leukemia for the former five-star recruit and shooting guard Andrew Jones.
