WATCH: Texas Forward Jonathan Holmes Ejected for Throwing Elbow at West Virginia's Devin Williams
This is a perfect example of why it is always a bad idea to retaliate. West Virginia's Devin Williams gives Texas' Jonathan Holmes a good shove and nearly knocks him over so what does Holmes do? He throws a well-deserved elbow in retaliation, but who gets caught and ejected from the game? Holmes.Is it right? Absolutley. He broke a rule that warrants an ejection, but it wouldn't have...

Late in the first half of the Texas Longhorns' game against West Virginia, Texas forward Jonathan Holmes was pushed in the back by the Mountaineers' Devin Williams.The shove was a little hard, but not as stiff as the elbow Holmes throws in retaliation. Holmes connected right on Williams' chin, and that earned him a flagrant-2 foul and an ejection. But, from this angle, it looks...
Texas Basketball: Live and in person
Thanks to a connection through my Father I was able to witness Texas Basketball’s 85-77 defeat to #14 Iowa State from the 18th row! The game was intense, the Texas fans were passionate and rowdy in a good way. There was a large contingent of Iowa State fans who broke out the “let’s go cyclones” chant in the closing stages of the contest.
All in all it was a good experience...
Rick Barnes’ seat as Texas Basketball coach should be hot
Texas Basketball’s season is coming to a disappointing end. What started as an optimistic campaign with hope is ending with defeat and average play. This situation begs the question, how much more mediocrity and lackluster basketball will Texas athletic director Steve Patterson put up with?
Texas seem to have a habit of relying on a coaches tenure and past achievements when considering...
Longhorns on verge of another lost season
AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas is running out of time to avoid being labeled as college basketball's most disappointing team of 2014-15.
The Longhorns missed another opportunity on Saturday to improve their unimpressive resume with an 85-77 home loss to No. 14 Iowa State.
"I know it's not a work ethic thing," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "Right now we need some leadership, obviously....
Texas Basketball seeks revenge against Red River Rival
Texas Basketball were gifted a string of winnable games after a brutal month of January, and won all three of them. The latest of which was a 56-41 win over Texas Tech, in which nineteen players played and two of them reached double digits. Most notably Myles Turner who had a stellar performance.

Turner's 25 points lead Texas over Texas Tech 56-41
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- The Texas Longhorns have temporarily rescued their season with three straight wins against the bottom teams in the Big 12.
Their season will likely be defined over the next two weeks against the best in the league.

Texas Basketball: seeing success with three guards starting
The Longhorns celebrated their head coach Rick Barnes as he earned his 600th career victory last Wednesday in a 66-43 drubbing against TCU. This career milestone was reached despite using another different starting line up, battling injuries, and facing tough opposition in the Big-12. TCU has been somewhat of a punching bag in the Big-12 so it is no surprise Texas Basketball was...
Texas Big Man Cameron Ridley Nearly Takes the Basket Down After Missing Power Dunk Against TCU
It may seem kind of strange, but from time to time players actually do miss dunks. Sometimes the end result is kind of funny. Other times it can still leave you impressed with the player. Take this missed dunk by Texas big man Cameron Ridley Wednesday night against TCU. He didn't score, but it is still pretty clear that the 6'9' 285 pounder is a powerful dude.He must be to almost...
Texas Basketball wins without Holmes and Felix, who stepped up?
Texas Basketball had the daunting challenge of ending a four game losing streak without two of their best offensive players, and they won. Texas travelled to Manhattan, Kansas and beat the Wildcats 61-57. The injuries the Longhorns faced were not the end of the world, as other players took those available minutes and helped the Longhorns win.

Texas Basketball’s struggles continue, Big-12 disaster
Texas Basketball is riding a four game losing streak and have lost 6 of their last 8 games! Big-12 conference play has been an unmitigated disaster, with the Longhorns suffering both blowouts and close defeats.
Despite getting their starting point guard Isaiah Taylor back from injury in January, the Longhorns have gone backwards with no answer for their Big-12 rivals. It feels...
Le’Bryan Nash Annihilates Texas Defender On Fastbreak (Video)
Texas Longhorns junior Demarcus Holland should have made a business decision on this play.
Oklahoma State senior Le’Bryan Nash got a pass on the fastbreak and threw down a violent dunk over Holland, annihilating him in the process.
Here’s the best angle.
Le’Bryan Nash Obliterated Texas’ Demarcus Holland

Remember when Cliff Alexander dunked all over Oklahoma State last month? Well, it turns out Oklahoma State guard Le’Bryan Nash was one the guys he powered through before unleashing some major hurt on the rim.
Nash, however, finally got some revenge Wednesday night, posterizing Demarcus Holland of Texas in embarrassing fashion. As...
Texas Basketball is struggling, and entering must win mode
Texas Basketball entered this season with high expectations, favorites for second place in the Big-12.
After eight games the Longhorns find themselves in eighth place, third from the cellar in the powerful Big-12 conference.
Rick Barnes needs to ignite this team or they will continue to drop games.

Texas Basketball drop their third straight, mauled by Baylor
A season that began with hope and promise has been marred with poor results and losses, bringing the Texas Longhorns and their fans crashing back down to Earth. As Texas Basketball dropped their third game in a row to a ranked Big-12 opponent we can see the results of this litmus test, and they aren’t good.
#19 Texas Basketball fell 83-60 against #20 Baylor, leaving the Longhorns...
Texas-Baylor Preview
Baylor might not be the best shooting team in the Big 12, but it typically makes up for that with second chances.
That's not an area in which Texas tends to give much away.
The conference's top rebounding teams square off Saturday night in Waco, and the loser will have a hole to dig out of in the league as the calendar turns to February.
The 19th-ranked Longhorns (14-6, 3-4) lead...
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...
Felix, Taylor lead No. 17 Texas past TCU
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Javan Felix scored 15 points, Isaiah Taylor added 13 and No. 17 Texas rolled to a 66-48 victory against TCU on Monday night.

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.
Myles Turner skies for...
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...
