Two weeks after nearly suffering a major upset at home to the McNeese State Cowboys, the Texas Longhorns return to the Erwin Center on Saturday to face off against the Central Michigan Chippewas, one of the nation’s most experienced teams.
After six days off following last Sunday’s win against Texas A&M in Fort Worth, head coach Shaka Smart’s team has focused on finishing finals while developing players individually, then carrying that growth over into games.
“Really important time for us to continue to work on growth as a basketball team,” Smart said on Thursday.
