Fresh off a Legends Classic title in Brooklyn, NY, Texas basketball (5-1, 0-0 SEC) and head coach Rodney Terry return home to the Moody Center for a matchup against the Delaware State Hornets (3-4, 0-0 MEAC) on Black Friday (Nov. 29).

This is the final tune up game for Terry and the Longhorns before back-to-back contests against Quad 1 foes in the next couple of weeks in early December. Texas travels to the East Coast NC State Wolfpack in the ACC/SEC Challenge in Raleigh on Dec. 4.

Potentially the biggest game of the non-conference slate for the Longhorns is four days after, coming at the Moody Center in Austin on Dec. 8 against the back-to-back defending champs UConn.

Here's a look at the TV/streaming information, game time, betting odds, and game prediction for Texas vs. Delaware State at the Moody Center in Austin, TX, on Nov. 29.

Texas vs. Delaware State prediction

Despite winning the MVP of the Legends Classic last week, freshman guard Tre Johnson wasn't as efficient as he was in the season's first four games. Johnson was a key scorer for the Longhorns in the Legends Classic, averaging 17 points per game in the two wins in Brooklyn over Syracuse and Saint Joseph's in the final.

But Johnson shot under 40 percent from the field and from beyond the arc for the first time in back-to-back games this season. Johnson can get back on track offensively against a Delaware State team that doesn't have the length of athleticism to contend for Texas defensively on the perimeter and the wing.

It will be critical for Johnson to find his shooting stroke again before the Longhorns face NC State and UConn back-to-back early next month.

Another player for the Longhorns I'll be looking for a big game from vs. Delaware State tonight at the Moody Center is senior guard Tramon Mark. Since making his season debut for Texas two games ago in the Legends Classic against Syracuse, Mark has shown flashes of the type of scorer he was and will be for the Longhorns when he gets all the rust off.

Delaware State is the Mark's best opportunity to score in the double figures early this season in the games he's played so far.

Final score prediction: Texas-90, Delaware State-55
