How to watch Texas basketball vs. Chicago State: TV channel info, streaming, odds

After decimating the Houston Christian Huskies in the home opener at the Moody Center in Austin on Nov. 8, Texas basketball (1-1, 0-0 SEC) takes on the Chicago State Cougars (0-2, 0-0 NEC) on Tuesday night.

Behind another huge scoring performance from true freshman shooting guard Tre Johnson in the win over Houston Christian last week, with 28 points on 61 percent shooting from the field and 63 percent from deep, Texas looks to stay on a roll offensively.

Johnson is off to a historic start for the Longhorns this season, scoring nearly 30 points in each of his first two career games against the Ohio State Buckeyes and Houston Christian.

The win over Houston Christian on Nov. 8 leaves Texas with two more tune-up games at home before the Legends Classic in Brooklyn, NY, against some potential Quad 1 opponents next week.

Here's a look at the TV/streaming information, game time, betting odds, and game prediction for the regular season opener between Texas and Chicago State at the Moody Center in Austin, TX, on Nov. 12.

Texas vs. Chicago State prediction

This game against Chicago State is another easy opportunity for the Longhorns to get the offense going and have the ball moving crisply on the offensive end and in transition to find a good rhythm. Texas really needs to get key guards like junior Jordan Pope and senior Julian Larry going on the offensive end, after each scored fewer than a dozen points in each of the regular season's first two games.

I have faith in Johnson to have another solid night offensively if he gets in a good scoring rhythm early on. If that is the case where the Longhorns can get going on the offensive end early and often, while holding their own defensively, other key contributors like senior big man Kadin Shedrick and senior forward Arthur Kaluma should follow suit.

Final score prediction: Texas-92, Chicago State-61
