Longhorns prepare to face off against perennial power Kansas

Peter Sblendorio January 23, 2015

No offense, but lack of it hurts Texas’ title hopes

Evan Berkowitz January 21, 2015

Stat Guy: There is a block party at the Erwin Center

Drew Lieberman January 21, 2015

Texas hopes to separate from the Big 12 pack

Evan Berkowitz January 20, 2015

Longhorns bounce back with home win against West Virginia

Peter Sblendorio January 18, 2015

For the first time since the start of Big 12 play, No. 20 Texas looked like a team worthy of all the preseason hype.   The Longhorns navigated No. 20 West Virginia’s high-pressure defense...
