How to Watch, Preview: Longhorns vs. UT-Rio Valley Grande

The Texas Longhorns look to maintain momentum ahead of their clash with the Creighton Bluejays

Adam Glick | Nov 26, 2022

The No. 4 Texas Longhorns welcome UT-Rio Grande Valley to Austin Saturday. The Longhorns will play the game inside Gregory Gym for the second consecutive season. Last year Texas handled their game inside Greg against Sam Houston State winning decisively.

Texas is coming off a trip down south where they handled business against Northern Arizona in the Leon Black Classic. Winning the contest 73-48 was a strong performance after the emotional high of beating Gonzaga at Moody Center last week. Against the Lumberjacks of Northern Arizona, Texas shot lights out from the field at 50 percent while forcing 21 turnovers.

For the first time, all-season guard Tyrese Hunter wasn’t the center of production. The Longhorns were led by guard Marcus Carr (17 points, four assists) while freshman guard Arterio Morris added 11 points off the bench.

Saturday will be another important tune-up game for a top-ten showdown next Friday against Creighton. The Bluejays just concluded a trip to Maui losing in the championship game to No. 14 Arizona. Creighton however was able to pick up marquee wins against No. 21 Texas Tech and No. 9 Arkansas.

UT-Rio Grande Valley is led by senior guard Justin Johnson averaging 19.2 points per game. The Vaqueros also have two other double-digit scorers in guard Will Johnston 11.7 and forward 12.3 points per game.

Grande Valley so far this season is 4-2 and averaging 82.5 points per game. The Longhorns should have their hands full but pose as one of the best defensive teams in the country. Turnovers and contested jumpers will be the game plan for head coach Chris beard and his staff Saturday.

Here is how to watch, listen and stream the Longhorns' matchup against the Vaqueros on Saturday afternoon.
