Texas basketball dates to 1906 at the state's flagship university, which opened in 1883. The live mascot Bevo, a Longhorn steer, has been a tradition since 1916 — the first Bevo was famously barbecued at a football banquet and reportedly the meat was tough. While Texas has historically been a football school, the basketball program produced Kevin Durant, who played just one season in 2007 before becoming one of the NBA's greatest scorers. The Longhorns have been regular NCAA Tournament participants and joined the SEC in 2024.
Named for the Texas Longhorn cattle; the first live mascot Bevo arrived in 1916 after an alumnus bought an orange-tinted steer with $1 donations from 124 alumni
Kevin Durant's dominant 2007 freshman season, averaging 25.8 points per game and winning the Naismith Award before being selected second overall in the NBA Draft
The first Bevo was famously barbecued and served at a football banquet — according to The Alcalde, the meat was tough; Texas is currently on Bevo XV
The Texas Longhorns compete in the SEC and hold an all-time record of 1939–1170 (.624 winning percentage) across 120 recorded seasons dating back to 1905-06. The program has reached 3 Final Fours.
