Ahhh yes, welcome back everybody. Texas Longhorns basketball is back, this time fighting against the Eastern Illinois ...uhh, let’s say Panthers. Holy crap that’s right; I officially have one more unlikely win than Beto tonight. Too soon? Yep, too soon. OK.
The first game of any season is always a bit of a guessing game; yes, the Panthers are terrible, and yes Texas should win, but the combination of new pieces seeing their first action in front of a crowd of dozens of semi-excited Texas fans and veterans trying to make things click can lead to some unnecessarily tight scores early on.
