How to watch Texas basketball vs. Texas State: Odds, matchups, injuries and more

The final game for head coach Rodney Terry and No. 16 Texas basketball before the marquee non-conference game on the road on Dec. 6 against the No. 3 Marquette Golden Eagles in the Big 12/Big East Challenge is on Nov. 30. Texas hosts the Texas State Bobcats at the friendly confines of the Moody Center in Austin on the final day of November.

Texas (5-1, 0-0 Big 12) is coming off arguably its most complete and impressive home victory of the season to date on Nov. 26 against the Wyoming Cowboys. The Longhorns handily defeated Wyoming in a solid end-to-end effort at the Moody Center a few days ago by a score of 86-63.

Texas State (3-4, 0-0 Sun Belt) is trying to get back to its winning ways after head coach Terrence Johnson experienced his first losing season with the Bobcats last year. But the Bobcats have struggled recently, losing two of its last three games and three of its last five.

Here’s a look at the TV/streaming information and game time as No. 16 Texas hosts Texas State at the Moody Center in Austin on Nov. 30.
