Sean Miller and the Longhorns are riding high after their enormous upset of then-ranked No.13 Alabama on January 10th, and they'll hopefully be able to carry that momentum back to Texas.
Texas' porous defense has gotten incrementally better over the past couple of games in some areas, and it's crucial that they continue to improve there as the SEC-portion of the schedule plays out.
The Longhorns have a chance to do something that they haven't done in a while, and that's beating two top 15-ranked teams back-to back. The Commodores are currently 16-0, averaging 93 points per game so far in the 2025/2026 season, good for 8th in the nation in that category. If Texas is going to step up on defense soon, this is undoubtedly the game to do it.
