Texas basketball had one of the best seasons in program history in 2023. The Longhorns finished the year at 29-9, making an NCAA Tournament run all the way to the Elite Eight.
Rodney Terry earned the full-time job as head coach after knocking it out of the park in the interim role.
The Longhorns hope to build on the momentum built this past season moving forward.
Texas ranks No. 7 in 247Sports’ way-too-early top 25 rankings for the 2023-2024 season.
If Disu hadn’t gotten hurt, Texas likely would have reached the Final Four and would have been a tough out, even with the way UConn played. Now he has a decision to make. If he comes back and carries over his momentum from the postseason, Texas will be awfully tough to beat. Tyrese Hunter is testing the NBA Draft waters but seems likely to return, and Texas seems likely to find a transfer point guard to help relieve some of the ball-handling burden. Arterio Morris and Dillon Mitchell are sophomore jump candidates, Brock Cunningham comes up with big plays in key moments and five-star forward Ron Holland looks like a hand-in-glove fit.
While we are an entire offseason packed with NBA decisions and transfer portal moves away from the first game of the 2023 campaign, Texas appears to be in good shape to compete for a title again.
