The men’s basketball squad plays its home opener after beginning the season against Ohio State in Las Vegas on Monday. There are multiple new faces as head coach Rodney Terry welcomes a slew of talented transfers to the program. Forward Arthur Kaluma (14.4 PPG at Kansas State in 2023-24) and Jordan Pope (17.6 PPG at Oregon State) head a solid transfer class that should boost the Longhorns’ offense. The team also adds five-star freshman guard Tre Johnson, who finished as the No. 5-ranked prospect in the 2024 ESPN 100. – Derek Udensi
