It’s an exciting time to be a Texas basketball fan.
Chris Beard’s squad is off to a 5-0 start to the 2022-23 season, which includes a dominant win over Gonzaga. Over the last two games, the Longhorns have blown out their opponents.
Texas defeated Northern Arizona 73-48 a week ago and followed that up with a 91-54 win over Texas-Rio Grande Valley over the weekend. The impressive outcomes saw Texas rise two spots in USA TODAY Sports’ Coaches Poll this week.
The Longhorns have a tough test approaching when they face No. 7 Creighton on Thursday in Austin. Should Texas pull out the win, they could be in the conversation for the No. 1 team in the country.
