After posting an 11-2 record through a non-conference schedule that ranks No. 312 nationally, the No. 20 Texas Longhorns open the program’s final season in Big 12 play on Saturday against the Texas Tech Red Raiders at the Moody Center.
In two games against ranked opponents, Texas fell to No. 5 UConn 81-71 in the Empire Classic in New York and was blown out 86-65 by No. 8 Marquette in Wisconsin. Against a weak schedule that didn’t feature any marquee games at the Moody Center, Texas notched only two Power Five wins, a last-second victory over 5-8 Louisville in New York and a 96-85 win against LSU in Houston.
