PREVIEW: No. 10 Texas basketball faces No. 17 TCU

No. 10 Texas faces No. 17 TCU at 8 pm CT on ESPN2.

The Texas Longhorns have a pivotal basketball game against TCU on Wednesday night. A win would confirm Texas as a Big 12 contender, while a loss would raise questions about the team.

Both teams are 13-2 on the season, with Texas’ only losses coming against Illinois and Kansas State. The second half of the season welcomes college basketball’s toughest gauntlet, the Big 12 conference schedule.

Having lost their head coach, many question the Longhorns ability to contend later in the season. Texas guards will have a statement opportunity against TCU.

For all his team’s struggles, Rodney Terry’s team is still 6-1 and not going away without a fight. After a poor defensive performance against Kansas State, the Longhorns held the Oklahoma State Cowboys to 46 points. Acting fast to adjust and improve is an encouraging trend moving forward.

TCU begins a tough stretch that includes Texas Tech and two tough road trips to Iowa State and West Virginia.

Game Prediction: Texas 70, TCU 62

What To Watch: Texas basketball opens with the UTEP Miners

Texas will face the UTEP Miners at 8 p.m. CT on the Longhorn Network.

The No. 12 Texas Longhorns tip off their 2022-2023 basketball season tonight. They will face the UTEP Miners at 8 p.m. CT in the Moody Center.

Heading into the season, there are multiple new faces set to join the team. Sir’Jabari Rice and Tyrese Hunter enter as the premier transfer players for the Longhorns.

Rice and Hunter are set to make an immediate impact following tournament runs with other teams last season. Hunter is familiar with the grind of a Big 12 schedule. This year, he’ll face the conference alongside better talent.

Dillon Mitchell and Arterio Morris headline the freshman class and bring the highest upside on the team. Morris flashed his three-point ability in a preseason exhibition against Arkansas, while Mitchell will often be the best athlete on the court.

Here are a few things to monitor in tonight’s game.
