There is a much different feeling surrounding the Texas basketball program heading into the 2021-22 season than most in the past decade under former head coaches Shaka Smart and Rick Barnes. But now under the new head coach (formerly of the Texas Tech Red Raiders ) Chris Beard, the Texas men’s hoops program has a lot more excitement surrounding it heading into the upcoming season.
The two-time Big 12 Coach of the Year and 2018-19 AP Coach of the Year Beard is leading the Longhorns in what looks to be a more prominent direction heading into the 2021-22 campaign.
