They've had to eek out a few close wins over the last few weeks, but a win is a win and they have won all but one contest this year, an early-season matchup against Alabama. What do we see as the keys to victory for Texas and can they get it done on the road?
The Texas Longhorns men's and women's basketball teams both tipped off the 2025-26 seasons over the weekend, with positive showings from both squads.

The Texas Longhorns are back in the top-25 and back on the road, heading to Lexington to take on the Kentucky Wildcats to try to put together a win streak. Kentucky is a team in peril, coming off of a bye week after decisively losing back-to-back SEC games.

The Texas Longhorns come into the Cotton Bowl unranked with their backs against the wall.After looking completely outmatched against the Florida Gators, Texas cannot afford to drop another game and fall to 3-3 on the year.
