Texas opens the season versus Duke in Charlotte, N.C. before playing four non-conference games at home. The Longhorns will then travel to Maui to participate in the Maui Invitational for the first time since 2020. That event was not held in Hawaii, so this trip will be the first to the Aloha State since 2012. Texas won the 2020 edition of the tournament held in North Carolina. Teams in the field include Arizona State, Boise State, Chaminade, NC State, Seton Hall, USC, and Washington State.
Texas’ first game back on the mainland will be against Virginia and first-year head coach Ryan Odom as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge. Texas then welcomes Southern before traveling to the northeast to play UConn. That will be at the PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford and not at the on-campus Gampel Pavilion. Non-conference play concludes with Le Moyne and Maryland Eastern Shore in Austin just before Christmas.
