No. 3: The Horns do not lack offensive talent
One of the beautiful consequences of the transfer portal is the ability to bring proven college basketball commodities into your program. Coach Terry brought in six transfers this offseason, five of which averaged at least 11.0 points per game last season.
That influx of scoring will do wonders for a team's offensive prowess, but it is up to the coaching staff to mesh these talents.
It is still a work in progress, but the Longhorns seem to continue to develop their offensive identity with each game. We already touched on the Horns' shooting numbers, and according to KenPom, they are No. 42 in the country in adjusted offensive efficiency.
They protect the ball as well as any team in the country, with a turnover percentage of only 13.2 (sixth nationally), and have a clear delineation with Jordan Pope and Julian Larry as the point guards.
Speaking of Jordan Pope, he put up 42 points against New Orleans earlier this season, ranking seventh in program history for points scored in a single game. Despite that outburst, he is still the third-highest scorer on the team.
Texas can beat you on the offensive end from all angles. However, to have success in SEC play, they have to avoid playing too much one-on-one basketball.
