2018 Longhorns Season Preview

The 2015-2016 season for the Texas Longhorns basketball team was Shaka Smart’s debut season as head coach for the Horns. They finished the season with a 23-10 record and a loss in the first round of the NCAA tournament. For a season of changes with a new coaching style, this was a successful season for the Longhorns and resulted in Smart signing a new contract that gives him an additional $100,000 per season through 2023. As the Texas Longhorns head into the 2016-2017 season, they have gone from a stacked upperclassman team to a team heavy with freshman and sophomore players. The Horns best player last season, Isaiah Thomas, left UT a year early for the NBA draft, leaving three upperclassmen on the team: Shaquille Cleare, Mareik Isom and Kendal Yancy. Smart will need to adjust his energetic coaching style to focus game minutes on the younger players. The Longhorns have a positive outlook for the season as they welcome talented freshman, Jarrett Allen and Andrew Jones. Allen was a No.1 pick for recruiting as a center with a fast and agile game style. Jones proved to be an asset last year with an average of 30 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists as a high school senior. Whether you are planning on cheering on the Longhorns at the Frank Erwin Center or supporting UT on the road, TicketCity has some of the best deals on all Texas Longhorns tickets, including home and away games.

Texas Longhorns Rivals

Oklahoma Sooners, Texas A&M Aggies, Kansas Jayhawks

Texas vs. Oklahoma

The football rivalry between these two schools dates back a hundred years, but they have a relatively young basketball rivalry. With the inception of the Big 12 in 1996 these two teams have produced some of the best games in the conference. Oklahoma owns an advantage in overall wins, but the Longhorns have dominated the last decade. This is one of the most exciting matchups in the Big 12 year in and year out.

Texas vs. A&M

Anytime the Longhorns and Aggies meet on any stage it is an exciting event. These two teams have met on the basketball court over 200 times with the Horns owning a large margin in wins. With both teams having increased success over the last two decades, this rivalry has grown in importance and intrigue. The series was put on hold after the Aggies moved to the SEC, but fans from both squads hope that it is put back on the schedule in the near future.

Texas vs. Kansas

This series has often been the premier matchup in the Big 12. Kansas and Texas have produced some of the most exciting games anywhere in the country, with the Big 12 championship often on the line. Kansas has a winning record in this series but Texas is one of the few schools to have any success against the Jayhawks over the last 20 years. Both squads are known for having NBA caliber talent and this game is a showcase for some of the best players in the country.

Texas Longhorns in the Final Four, NCAA Tournament, and Big 12 Tournament

After a run of two Final Fours in the 1940s, there was a lull of postseason success for the Longhorns, but over the last 15 years we’ve seen some Texas teams run deep into the NCAA tournament. Texas appeared in the Final Four in 2003, and has reached the Sweet 16 five times in the last decade – along with a few conference championships.

Where are good places to eat before a Longhorns game?

The area around Frank Erwin Center is full of great places to eat. Just farther south on Red River Street is Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill. Moonshine has some of the best southern food you will find, and has a fun atmosphere also. If you are a Barbeque fan you have to try Franklin’s. Franklin’s is one of the top barbeque places in the country and usually sells out by lunchtime so plan to get there early. Just on the other side of I-35 is Gourmands Neighborhood Pub. Gourmands has a simple but mouthwatering menu and is a fun place to spend a few hours before game time. If you are looking for Mexican food try Trudy’s. Trudy’s is usually packed with Longhorn faithful, and has great food and drink options. Other good places in the area are Seranos, The Halal Bros, Aster’s Ethiopian Restaurant, and Arlo’s.

Where is the best place to park at the Frank Erwin Center?

Parking at Frank Erwin Center is extremely limited and we highly recommend getting to the game early. Usually the best place to look for parking is north of the arena at the corner of Red River Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Another good place to find a spot is at the Trinity Garage located just west on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at Trinity Street. If you go farther south on Red River there are plenty of metered parking spots, but be wary that there is usually a 3-hour limit on street parking.

Does my child need a ticket to attend the game?

Children over the age of 2 years old are required to have a ticket to enter Frank Erwin Center. If your child is under 2 years old they will be allowed to sit on a guardians lap for the duration of the game. It is best practice to bring proof of your child’s age with you to the gate to avoid any last minute hassles.
