The Texas Longhorns continue to be a strong contender in the
Big 12 Conference
. They have gone to the
National Collegiate Athletic Association Championship Tournament
33 times and have played in the Final Four three times. Yet, the team is still anxiously looking for its first national championship. The Longhorns play home games in the Erwin Center on the University of Texas campus in Austin, Texas. Several Longhorns players have gone on to play in the NBA, including the
San Antonio Spurs
players LaMarcus Aldridge and Damion James,
Houston Rockets
player P. J. Tucker,
Brooklyn Nets
player Kevin Durant,
Orlando Magic
player D. J. Augustin and
LA Lakers
player Avery Bradley. Some fans are hoping for repeats of the 2008 season when the Longhorns won 31 games whereas others say they will settle for a repeat of the 2006 season when the Longhorns won 30 games. Texas’ Big 12 rivals, however, like
Oklahoma
,
Oklahoma State
,
Kansas
and
Texas Tech
intend not to let that happen. Grab your Texas Longhorns' basketball tickets at StubHub.

The Texas Longhorns' basketball head coach is Shaka Smart. He was named the head coach on April 3, 2015. No Longhorn fan will forget Smart’s first season when he led the team to the NCAA Tournament where the team lost to the
University of Northern Iowa
by a 75-72 half-court shot at the buzzer. In 2018-2019, Smart led the Longhorns to win the
National Invitation Tournament
championship. The team beat
South Dakota State
,
Xavier
and
Colorado
in Austin before defeating
Texas Christian University
and
Lipscomb
at
Madison Square Garden
in New York City.

The Longhorns plays its games in the 16,734-seat
Erwin Center

While almost every game that you can watch with your Texas Longhorns men’s basketball tickets promises to be a thriller, there are some games that you will definitely not want to miss. The conference season opens with a road trip to cross-state rival
Texas Christian University
on January 29. Then, return home to face
Iowa State
. On February 3, the team will take on
Kansas
on its territory. With no time to rest, the team then takes on cross-state rivals
Texas Tech
and
Baylor
at home. Part of the problem with playing in the Big 12 is that there are no easy games.
Texas Christian University
comes to Austin on February 19, 2020, for a rare Wednesday game followed by the
Kansas Wildcats
just three days later. The season concludes with a Tuesday game at
Oklahoma University
on March 3 and
Oklahoma State
at home on March 7.
''When you buy Texas Longhorns men’s basketball tickets, you can look forward to seeing many good players. Juniors Matt Coleman III, Royce Hamm Junior and Jase Fabres will be providing leadership for the team.'
