For the first time since the Christmas break, the Texas Longhorns have a week between games, allowing head coach Shaka Smart extra time to focus on areas for improvement before the team heads to Norman for a rivalry game against the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday.
Since the Horns typically play two games a week during Big 12 play, there’s a limited amount of time for Smart and his staff to stress all of the little things that go into success. With the extra practice time, the Horns are emphasizing areas of improvement for each specific player on both ends of the court.
