When the temperatures drop in Austin, the court at the Frank Erwin Center heats up, so grab your tickets today for another successful season of University of Texas basketball. Both the men’s team and the women’s team play over the holidays and tickets are so affordable, you can take the whole family. Here are just a few upcoming games for you to enjoy.
Saturday, December 19 sees a battle for court supremacy over in Arlington as the Longhorns men’s team take on North Carolina. This is a battle of the heavyweights as both Texas and North Carolina are often considered two of the best teams in the country in men’s basketball.
The schedule for the men’s team doesn’t get any easier. On December 22, they take on Michigan State at home. The Spartans are often the class of the Big Ten and they are sure to provide a challenge to a well coached and prepared Longhorns team.
The Longhorns men’s team has an easier go of it come December 29 as they take on Gardner Webb. In previous years, GW hasn’t quite been in the class that UT is in, and no one is really predicting anything different for this match up. If you want to ensure a Longhorn victory, this is the game you want to attend.
The women are in action over the holiday season, too. They play Sunday, December 20 at home against Texas Southern. This is a solid interstate rivalry that showcases a smaller Texas school stepping up to take on the legendary women’s Longhorns. While it is safe to say that UT will be a heavy favourite in this game, you don’t want to overlook anyone in the NCAA.
The women are back on the court at home for three in a row at the beginning of January. They take on Arkansas Pine Bluff, Texas-Arlington and Texas A&M on January 2, 5 and 9th respectively. Games against A&M are always very competitive and the game versus Arlington is yet another chance for a smaller Texas program to step up and give their best shot to the kings of the state. Don’t miss a second of action this season.
