Previous season

Season outlook

Heading into the 2021–22 season, there was a lot of excitement surrounding the program after the hiring of former Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard. Texas came into the season ranked number 5 in both the AP Preseason Poll and the USA Today Coaches Poll, further invigorating the hype.[3] Also, there was a lot of roster turnover heading into the season with Beard landing 6 of the top 31 transfers in the transfer portal, and only 1 high school recruit in Jaylon Tyson.[4][5] In Beard's inaugural season, The Longhorns finished the 2021–22 season at 21–11.[6] During the regular season, Texas finished with a record of 21–10, 10–8 in conference play, and 11–2 in non-conference play. Furthermore, the Longhorns were 3–8 against top-25 competition. Texas went 16–3 at home, 4–7 on the road, and 1–1 at neutral sites.[7] This was the Longhorns first 20-win season since the 2018-19 season, they went 21–16 that year. However, the season did have its ups and downs. Additionally, Jaylon Tyson and Tre Mitchell suddenly departed the team mid-season, and Texas lost their last 2 games of the regular season with an early exit in the Big 12 tournament, being eliminated in the first round by TCU 60–65.[8][9]

Big 12 tournament

Texas entered the Big 12 tournament as a 4-seed.[10] They faced off against 5-seed TCU where they were defeated 60–65, giving them a 6-seed heading into the 2022 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.[11][12]

NCAA tournament

Texas entered the NCAA tournament as a 6-seed, facing off against 11-seed Virginia Tech.[13] Against Virginia Tech, Texas won 81–73.[14] Furthermore, Texas's victory against Virginia Tech marked their first win in the NCAA tournament since 2014.[15] In the round of 32, Texas faced off against 3-seed Purdue losing 71–81, ending their season.[16]
