With a 2-0 record and a 98-point combined victory margin so far this season, the Texas men's basketball team is off to a white-hot start, and that is expected to continue for the Longhorns as they host the Grambling State Tigers.
Of course, as a top-10 team, the Horns will likely be favored in most of their matchups, especially at the start of the season and especially when they are playing at home.
While the third game of the year is not expected to see quite as big a blowout win for Texas, it is not expected to be very close for the Tigers.

Prediction for Texas men's basketball vs. Grambling State
So far this season, we have seen astonishing performances, virtually across the board, from the Longhorns, including double-digit showings for five-star freshmen Austin Goosby and Marcus Spears Jr.
However, we have also seen players like returning center Matas Vokietaitis truly step up to the plate as a vocal and physical leader. Some of head coach Sean Miller's transfer additions, like Isaiah Johnson and David Punch, have also fit perfectly into the roster, contributing significant minutes on both ends of the court.
Simply put, Miller's offseason recruiting efforts and coaching have already seemed to pay off, and we should continue to expect jaw-dropping victories for this Texas men's basketball squad.
Final score prediction: Texas 92, Grambling State 60
