Coming off the team’s most disappointing loss in SEC play, a 78-70 setback against the Arkansas Razorbacks at the Moody Center on Wednesday, the Texas Longhorns return to the road with a matchup against the Vanderbilt Commodores at Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville on Saturday.
It’s another winnable road game for head coach Rodney Terry’s team following last week’s 31-point blowout victory over LSU in Baton Rouge, but Texas will have to apply some lessons from Wednesday’s loss in trying to break the 4-4 tie in the all-time series with Vanderbilt.
With small margins separating wins and losses in the nation’s best basketball conference, the bottom line for the Horns is that they need to make quality shots, the difference in the road loss to the Rebels in Oxford and Wednesday’s home defeat against the Hogs.
