Texas vs. Texas A&M-Commerce series history

Although this is the first matchup between Texas and Texas A&M-Commerce as Division I NCAA foes on the hardwood, it’s not the first time that these two teams will face each other in general. Texas and Texas A&M-Commerce have faced each other on five occasions in the history of these two men’s hoops programs.

All five of the matchups between these two teams on the hardwood went in Texas’ favor, with the last coming way back in 1962. Texas beat Texas A&M-Commerce in 1962 in Austin by the final score of 71-38.

Texas can round out the non-conference slate on a high note by convincingly defeating the Lions at home before Big 12 play begins. According to the ESPN Basketball Power Index, Texas has a 99.0 percent chance of beating Texas A&M-Commerce.

Terry and the Longhorns are now only a few days away from the start of Big 12 play, which tips off on Dec. 31 on the road against the Oklahoma Sooners.
