It’s true, a look at the non-conference home schedule for the Texas Longhorns is extremely uninspiring.
Houston Christian, Chicago State, Mississippi Valley State, Delaware State, New Mexico State, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, New Orleans, Northwestern State.
Most of those state schools aren’t even actual states.
Sure, there is a trip to the Moody Center from UConn in early December, the lone marquee non-conference game that happens to come against the nation’s No. 3 team and reigning back-to-back national champions, but what reason is there to spend those other evenings on the Forty Acres watching some hoops?
