Chris Beard and the Longhorns will host Texas Lutheran in an exhibition match tonight at the Frank Erwin Center at 7:30 PM.

Former Texas player Mike Wacker is in his sixth season as head coach at Texas Lutheran.

The Longhorns will officially open the season on Tuesday, November 9th against Houston Baptist University.

Defense is outstanding so far

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Mitchell from three and then inside. He can shoot

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Cunningham back to Cunninghamming

I just turned this on and watched 3 minutes.  So far, I've seen better, sound defense, better movement without the ball, and less 1v1 plays.  I know it's Tex Luth, but these are the little things you can do against anyone.  I'm liking what I'm seeing.

Texas is only leading by 14 points.  FIRE BEARD NOW!!!!!

This is like watching the Harlem Globetrotters throttle the Washington Generals or whatever their name was. lol

Thrilled with what I'm seeing. Carr is a keeper. Mitchell can shoot from anywhere. Dischu is opportunistic. 

I know its a D-III school, but its what we're supposed to look like in this situation.

I just started watching a little after the 2nd half started but I like seeing Texas driving and cutting to the basket.

TLC is just worn out now.

Is there a Dodge equivalent in basketball we could hire? Asking for a friend.?

So many good players on this roster and top notch coaching staff.  This is going to be fun to watch this year.  We’re on our way up and fast.

Happy to be of service tex. This board is a light in the crimson darkness. For the most part.

Didn't  get to see the whole game, but it was great to see teammates cheering on other teammates and playing as a team and doing the little things on both ends for a team and not individual stats.  The fact that we had 4 in double figure scoring is great. This would have not been done under Smart due to his "team" being not a team. Got to be honest.

That freshman from Plano Tyson looks good too.  He’s going to be in the rotation.  And Beard has two 5️‘S about to sign this month

Not sure if anyone was aware, but the evening was dedicated to Mike Wacker, former great Longhorns hoop star, and also the head coach for TLU. All the UT players warm up gear had "Wacker" on the back and his playing days number.

After the game was over, he stayed on the court and did the Hook Em hand and sang the EOT.

Classy guy.
