It might not be enough to put Texas in a better position to reach the NCAA Tournament or save men’s basketball coach Rodney Terry’s job. Nevertheless, Tuesday’s 87-82 overtime road win over No. 25 Mississippi State showed the Longhorns aren’t ready to put the 2024-25 season to bed. Texas (17-13, 6-11 SEC) picked up a much-needed victory over the Bulldogs at Humphrey Coliseum, overcoming a second-half surge by Mississippi State (20-10, 8-9) to snap a three-game losing streak. The Longho

Coming off a 91-80 road loss to Georgia on Saturday, Texas returns to action against No. 7 Florida at Moody Center on Wednesday (6 p.m., ESPN2). Sean Miller is holding a media availability today to discuss the loss to the Bulldogs, tomorrow’s game against the Gators and the state of affairs as the Longhorns look to improve their standing for an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament. As of Monday, Texas (17-10, 8-6 SEC) remained on the right side of the bubble, with the Longhorns one of 11 SEC

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — With Tramon Mark (a game-high 23 points) and Jordan Pope (17 points) combining for 40 points, and Sean Miller's team coming through with arguably its best defensive performance of the season, Texas took a huge step toward securing an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament with a 76-70 road win over Texas A&M at Reed Arena on Saturday. The Longhorns held the Aggies 18 points under their season scoring average (88.7 points per game) on their second-worst shooting p

AUSTIN, Texas — Jordan Pope's game-high 30 points and Dailyn Swain knocking on the door of a triple-double (18 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and three steals) weren't enough to help Texas avoid a gut-wrenching 88-85 overtime loss to Oklahoma on Saturday. Pope and Tramon Mark went a combined 8-for-8 at the foul line over the last 27.9 seconds of regulation to send the game to overtime. Unfortunately, Texas (18-13, 9-9 SEC) shot 3-for-8 from the field in overtime, and the Sooners hit

Michigan defensive line coach Mike Elston is headed to the NFL. A big piece of the Wolverines success from a year ago was the work of their defensive line. Just as importantly for the Longhorns who play Michigan in Ann Arbor the second game of the upcoming season, the Wolverines' DL was supposed to be a strength of their 2024 team.  That may have hit a bit of a snag Tuesday afternoon as word out of Jim Harbaugh’s LA Chargers camp leaked that Elston will be making the leap to the Pros.

Midwest 4-star EDGE ready to visit Texas Four-star EDGE prospect Damien Shanklin (Indianapolis, In./Warren Central) is headed to Austin for an official visit June 21. That name was surprise to many still getting familiar with the the 2025 cycle of out of state prospects.  Shanklin, 6-5 and 232 pounds, is another sign of the Texas national recruiting approach, and growing appeal among top prospects. "When they first offered me, it surprised me," Shanklin told OnTexasFootball Sunday

Barring something major - like the immediate unexpected exodus of a couple of linemen from Michigan - Texas is officially done with portal recruiting for the spring semester. In review, the Horns grabbed eight players who expect to contribute immediately, six of them heavily. Meanwhile, the Horns lost 15 players to the portal, of which I'd say four or five would have been contributors of some level. Perhaps one departure really, really hurt - Trill Carter (Auburn). Carter would have be
