Wild rally falls short, No. 19 Texas loses at Iowa St
With less than 12 minutes left, Texas was staring at a 21-point deficit and the very strong possibility of a losing record in the Big 12.
The Longhorns still lost, and they still fell below .500 in league play.
They also nearly pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in school history.
Georges Niang scored 19 points, Bryce Dejean-Jones had 18 and 15th-ranked Iowa State held off...
Texas Basketball: No time to reflect on loss, #9 Iowa State looms
#17 Texas Basketball’s size and strength was no match for #11 Kansas Jayhawks’ precise and efficient offense. The Jayhawks were nearly perfect handling the ball and they handed Texas a 75-62 defeat in Austin.
Rick Barnes has been favoring the zone defense using it almost exclusively in victories against TCU and West Virginia, and Bill Self quickly figured out its weaknesses and...
Myles Turner: Texas Basketball’s rising star
The college men’s basketball season is about halfway through, and that makes this a good time to look back and reflect on #17 Texas Basketball’s season so far. With a record of 14-4 (3-2 Big-12) the Longhorns sit fifth in arguably the strongest conference in college basketball. The Longhorn’s have a talented and deep roster that features many big men who harass teams on the...

Texas Basketball beats West Virginia, there’s no time to celebrate
#20 Texas Basketball earned a signature 77-50 victory over #16 West Virginia, and though the victory was needed the Longhorns have little time to celebrate it. Two nights after playing in Austin the Longhorns will be tipping off against TCU in Fort Worth. TCU will also be traveling on short rest, returning home from a victory in Lubbock against Texas Tech.

Texas Longhorns Center Cameron Ridley Shows Off Some Power Against West Virginia
Texas Longhorns center Cameron Ridley is a very big man (6'9' and 285 pounds). He is the kind of man that football coaches have probably tried to recruit off of the basketball team each and every season. It will not be surprising if NFL coaches invite him in to camp (assuming the NBA is not in his future). Could you imagine your favorite team with a big, powerful tight end like him...

Make or break time for Texas Basketball in strong Big-12
There have been a few bumps in the road for this Texas Basketball team that was once ranked sixth in the nation. The Big-12 has proven to be a very competitive conference, as I predicted. Texas are off to a 1-2 start in Big-12 play (12-4 overall). Since their last defeat at the hands of Oklahoma State the Longhorns have had a week to think and prepare for the challenges ahead.

Texas Basketball loses their second straight against Oklahoma State
Texas Basketball left Stillwater defeated, the Longhorns lost 69-58 to Oklahoma State. The Cowboys have had a lot of recent success against the Longhorns winning five of the last six contests.

These teams hang their hats on the defensive side off the ball, but it was...
Takeaways from Texas Basketball’s eye opening loss to Oklahoma
For Texas Basketball this was an ugly loss at home, #16 Oklahoma came into the Frank Erwin Center and dominated the Longhorns 70-49. This was the Longhorn’s first real challenge since facing #1 Kentucky, except against the Wildcats that night Texas looked strong and fans felt good after watching how close it was. Though after last Monday’s performance, it’s hard to feel overly...
Texas-Oklahoma St. Preview
Texas coach Rick Barnes is confident his 10th-ranked Longhorns are capable of bouncing back from an embarrassing performance.
However, that may not be so easy with a visit Saturday to an Oklahoma State team coming off a solid defensive showing against one of the nation's top offenses.
Texas (12-3, 1-1 Big 12) looked completely overwhelmed in Monday's 70-49 home loss to No. 16 Oklahoma...
Texas Basketball earns first Big 12 win, looks ahead to #18 Oklahoma
Texas Basketball welcomed back starting guard Isaiah Taylor with a 70-61 win yesterday at Texas Tech. Though the scoreline would suggest the game was relatively close, the Longhorns were in cruise control after halftime. Leading by as many as 20 points in the second half, the Longhorns took their foot off the gas and left the back door open for Texas Tech.
It was also the Lammert...

Texas Basketball are set to take on the powerful Big 12 Conference, which currently has six teams ranked in the top 25. The competition is fierce and January will act as a barometer for these ranked teams as they will find out for sure where they stand.
For the Texas Longhorns...
Texas-Texas Tech Preview
The addition of highly touted freshman Myles Turner would appear to give Texas a promising chance to claim its first Big 12 regular-season title since 2007-08 and break one rival's lengthy string of championships.
The 11th-ranked Longhorns, though, might need a little something extra, and that could come with Isaiah Taylor's return from injury in Saturday's conference opener at Texas...

Five things we learned from Texas Basketball’s loss to Stanford
It wasn’t the merriest Christmas for the Longhorns who had to celebrate the holiday following their second loss of the season, and worse yet their opponent entered the contest unranked. The Stanford Cardinal took Texas Basketball to the end of regulation in Austin, and upset the Longhorns 74-71 in overtime.
The loss gives the Longhorns a lot to think about heading into the new...

Texas Basketball: The offense is starting to click
A triple digit evening is exactly what this Texas Basketball team needed blowing out Lipscomb 106-61. An ultimate boost in confidence for these young men who had career nights left and right. They cut down the turnovers, played their style of basketball and ran the Lipscomb Bisons of the floor.

Long Beach St.-Texas Preview
(AP) - Texas is rolling and making a splash among the nation's best just two seasons after it had seemed to hit bottom.
The No. 9 Longhorns, who host Long Beach State on Saturday night, have been ranked in the top 10 for each game this season - something that didn't seem attainable in 2013 when fans were calling for coach Rick Barnes to be fired after his first losing season in 15...
Myles Turner scores 26 to lead No. 9 Texas over Lipscomb
Myles Turner doesn't always provide evidence supporting his reputation as an NBA draft lottery candidate.
But he offered plenty on Tuesday night. Turner scored a season-high 26 points to help lead No. 9 ranked Texas to a rout of Lipscomb 106-61.
Turner, a highly-recruited 6-foot-11 freshman, had and outstanding all-around performance as he also grabbed nine rebounds and had six...
Texas Basketball rolls Bobcats, looks to Lipscomb
Texas State may only be 30 miles down the interstate from University of Texas Basketball but the differences in both schools’ basketball programs couldn’t be farther apart. The Texas State Bobcats didn’t bring a real center with them while the Longhorns have two real and talented centers to work with. By halftime Texas State had forced 10 turnovers but had only managed to score...
Lipscomb-Texas Preview
Texas is one of the top defensive teams in the nation, but coach Rick Barnes remains concerned with his squad's offensive play.
He would like his ninth-ranked Longhorns to show the same intensity offensively as they have on the defensive end starting Tuesday night against visiting Lipscomb.
