No game amounted to a higher stakes affair for No. 17 Texas basketball during the non-conference slate this season than the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational opening round matchup against the North Carolina Tar Heels. That win for Texas basketball over the UNC Tar Heels was devalued a bit when it was handled by the No. 7 Michigan Wolverines on Nov. 28 by the final score of 84-67.
With the biggest win of the season so far for Texas basketball potentially getting called into question, can it keep focus on the next game on the slate. That next game for the Texas Longhorns comes against an underrated team in the Radford Highlanders.
