While the Longhorns look forward to participating in a marquee matchup, their non-conference slate now features five teams ranked in the top 25 at the end of the 2024-25 season. Their schedule includes matchups with UCLA, Duke, South Carolina, North Carolina, and South Dakota. Those games will be a good opportunity for Texas to prove that its success last season was no fluke.
This team has had no issues when given the opportunity to shine on a big stage. Over the summer, they played in the Globl Jam Tournament. In that showcase, they earned silver medals while participating against international teams.
As the Longhorns chase a national title, they will get to show just how far the program has come four months from now.
