The Texas Longhorns Basketball Schedule

Choosing a worthy opponent is a critical step when choosing the right game to see live. The Texas Longhorns basketball schedule is a blend of storied state showdowns, key conference clashes, and pairings with nationally recognized programs. Each adversary challenges the team’s versatility and competitive spirit in different ways, but some schools stand out above others.

Key Competitors

• University of Oklahoma: This matchup measures the high-energy play Texas is known for against Oklahoma’s more balanced attack. Of course, beyond athletics, these confrontations reflect the deep-seated rivalry that has developed between these schools from neighboring states.

• Texas A&M University: If you’re looking for a duel with some drama, the Aggies bring a contrasting style to every encounter with the Longhorns. The Longhorns' dynamic offense is a tough test for A&M's resilient defense. Each skirmish is a highly anticipated event steeped in Texas sports culture. 

• Baylor University: When the Bears face the Longhorns, expect a clash of titans that pits Baylor’s physicality and aggressiveness against the adaptability of the University of Texas. The strategic battles showcase the evolution of both teams and contribute to the overall competitiveness of the Big 12.

• West Virginia University: Games between WVU and UT feature strategic nuances and a high level of physical play. The Mountaineers love to cause disruptions and turnovers. Will the Longhorns’ mental toughness allow them to keep their heads in the game and effectively counter the attacks?

• University of Kansas: The Jayhawks, a perennial powerhouse, consistently provide a benchmark challenge for the Longhorns. Their high-profile contests let fans see how the seasoned approach of Kansas, focused on fundamentals, can compete with the energy Texas brings to the court.

Notable University of Texas Basketball Players

Next time you see the Longhorns play, you might be in the presence of the next NBA superstar! This list showcases the most illustrious players from the University of Texas basketball program. These athletes not only made a significant impact at Texas but also translated their skills and competitiveness into professional success, earning recognition and accolades along the way: 

• Slater Martin (1943–1944, 1946–1949): Known for his defensive skills and playmaking, Martin was drafted by the Minneapolis (now LA) Lakers in 1949. A seven-time All-Star and five-time NBA champion, his impact on the league was profound, and he has been inducted into both the National Collegiate and Naismith Memorial Basketball Halls of Fame.

• LaSalle Thompson (1979–1982): Picked 5th overall by the Kansas City Kings in 1982, Thompson was known for his rebounding and shot-blocking skills. Playing primarily for the Kings and Pacers, he consistently brought a strong inside presence to the court. He played in the NBA from 1982–1997 before becoming a coach and mentoring other talented athletes.

• LaMarcus Aldridge (2004–2006): Aldridge was chosen 2nd overall by the Chicago Bulls in 2006 but was subsequently traded to the Portland Trail Blazers. He made the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2007 and was renowned for his scoring and rebounding. A seven-time All-Star, his mid-range game and post play were pivotal throughout his career.

• Kevin Durant (2006–2007): Selected 2nd overall by the Seattle SuperSonics (now OKC Thunder) in 2007, Durant quickly made an impact. Named Rookie of the Year in 2008 and NBA MVP in 2014, his strength and versatility have made him one of the most dominant players in the league. He has over a dozen All-Star appearances to his name and helped lead the GS Warriors to back-to-back NBA championships.

• Tristan Thompson (2010–2011): During his days with the Longhorns, Thompson’s rebounding and interior defense impressed the Cleveland Cavaliers so much they chose him as the 4th overall pick in the 2011 draft. Since then, his ability to control the boards and provide tough defense in the paint has been invaluable to his teammates, especially during the Cavs’ 2016 NBA Championship run.
