Texas Longhorns Basketball Tickets

Longhorns New Season

After an impressive 31-7 record and Elite Eight appearance in last year’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, the Texas Longhorns basketball program will look towards another strong performance and a shot at the NCAA Basketball Championship trophy. In the off-season, the Longhorns have been anything but dormant. Though they lost some key guards to the NBA draft, including point guard D.J. Augustin, Texas has bolstered their depth at the forward position by signing high school powerhouse Shawn Williams. Texas Longhorns Basketball coach Rick Barnes has high hopes for this “sharpshooter with size.” Additionally, with the void left by Augustin, the Longhorns NCAA championship basketball hopes will lie in the hands of Dogus Balbay of Turkey, Augustin’s replacement. Though Balbay was not a high-school phenom, Barnes and the rest of the Longhorns Basketball program feel confident that he will bring a solid, steady, and consistent level of play. Along with Dogus Balbay is Damion James and A.J. Abrams, two returning Longhorns stars that are also willing to share the burden of championship hopes. Damion James is expected to average a double-double in points/rebounds per game, and A.J. Abrams has the potential to be the top-shooter in the Big 12 Conference. As for Women’s Texas Longhorns Basketball, this year will have higher expectations than last year. Although they posted an above five hundred 22-13 record last year, the women Longhorns will search to return to its glory days of the late ‘80s. Senior Earnesia Williams and junior Erika Arriaran are two star players expected to make a strong impact in the 2009 NCAA Basketball season. In late July, the Big 12 NCAA basketball game schedule was officially released. The Longhorns will have three regular season NCAA basketball games televised on ESPN’s Big Monday package, one of them against long-time rivals Texas A&M Aggies.
