Team Information
Poised and ready to take the stage as a premiere team in the Big 12, the Texas Longhorns look to build on the momentum picked up last year. With a strong roster and high expectations, Longhorn tickets will be in demand as head coach Rick Barnes continues his successful career by thrusting Texas men’s basketball on to the national scene. While the Longhorns may have been derailed last year by injuries and ineligibility, look for them to make history in the near future.
Best known for its football program, Texas also has a long tradition of basketball, dating all the way back to 1906 and UT’s first intercollegiate game with Baylor with a 27-17 victory en route to a 7-1 record. Since then the Longhorns have had many memorable moments, including the 1947 NCAA Final Four team featuring Naismith Hall of Fame guard Slater Martin. Then there was the 1978 NIT championship team featuring Ron Baxter, Jim Krivacs, and Johnny Moore. The golden years of basketball on the “Forty Acres” may well be ahead of them though, as Rick Barnes has guided the Longhorns to seven straight NCAA tournament appearances and six straight 20 win seasons. Texas has gone 161-69 under Barnes’ leadership and had three consecutive Sweet Sixteen appearances in 2002, 2003, and 2004. In 2003 UT made the Final Four for the first time in 56 years.
Barnes who has a career record of 363-203 between his time at coach at George Mason, Providence, Clemson and Texas, has seen 3 National Invitation Tournaments and 13 NCAA tournaments including 10 in a row. Barnes came to the team in 1998, and in his first year, he turned a lacking program into winners, winning 16 of their final 21 games in the 1998-1999 season to finish at19-13. Their 13-3 conference record led them to the Big 12 title and Barnes was named Big 12 Coach of the Year. Not settling for what he had accomplished in that first year turnaround, Barnes has worked to improve the program, turning the Longhorns into perennial winners and seeing them be ranked number one entering the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history.
While it may appear their best days are behind them after failing to make the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in three years last season, don’t let a bad NCAA tournament game by a young and injured team fool you. While inexperience and injuries may have done them in during their first round loss Nevada last year, Texas’ core of starters will be back this year healthy and with more experience. Sitting out that game last year were freshman forward LaMarcus Aldridge due to injury and sophomore forward P.J. Tucker due to academic ineligibility. Both now a year older will join sophomore Daniel Gibson, reforming the core that brought them success during the regular season.
Joining them will be senior Brad Buckman, making for a formidable threat to teams entering Erwin Center. Barnes has put everything into place and fans with Longhorns tickets will be in for a treat this year, as the team is a favorite to go deep into the post season.
