WATCH: Matthew McConaughey rocks burnt orange suit, sits on Texas' bench during game with Oklahoma

AUSTIN -- The "Minister of Culture" paid a visit to the Frank Erwin Center on Saturday night.

Matthew McConaughey, a UT alum and Academy Award-winning actor, earned himself that vague title when it was announced last month he was a partner in developing the Longhorns' new $338 million on-campus basketball arena, which is set to open in 2021.

And it appears being the Minister of Culture has other advantages, too -- like sitting on the bench during games.

McConaughey sat on Texas' bench Saturday night, while wearing a burnt orange three-piece suit suit, as the Longhorns faced No.
