AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Longhorns men's basketball program enters the 2026-27 season with heightened expectations as head coach Sean Miller begins his second year at the helm. Following a transitional first season, Miller aims to establish Texas as a contender in the Southeastern Conference.
The Longhorns opened their 2025-26 campaign with a victory over the LeMoyne Dolphins at Moody Center on December 16, 2025, providing an early glimpse of Miller's system. With a full offseason to recruit and develop his roster, Miller faces the challenge of navigating Texas' move to the SEC, one of college basketball's most competitive leagues.
Miller, a veteran coach with previous stops at Arizona and Xavier, brings a track record of NCAA Tournament success to Austin. The program's administration and fanbase anticipate significant progress in year two, as the Longhorns seek to translate resources and recruiting momentum into conference championships and deep postseason runs.
