Texas Longhorns Clash with Incarnate Word Cardinals at Moody Center in Men's Basketball Showdown

As the Texas Longhorns prepare to host the Incarnate Word Cardinals at the Moody Center, fans are eager to see how their team will fare in this upcoming men's basketball game.

Last season, Texas demonstrated proficiency in shooting with an overall field goal percentage of 47 and were particularly strong inside the arc with a two-point percentage of 54. Their free throw accuracy was also commendable at approximately 75 percent. With true shooting efficiency rounding out at 57 percent and three-point shots sinking at a rate of around 35 percent, it’s clear that Texas has been working hard on their offensive skills.


Defensively, they've shown tenacity as well. The team averaged nearly eight steals and over three blocks per game last season, indicating that they can be quite disruptive to opposing offenses. However, discipline might be an area for improvement as they averaged about 17 personal fouls per game.


The Longhorns also displayed teamwork with an average of over 16 assists per game while managing to keep turnovers under control at just under eleven per match. Rebounding has been another strength for them; pulling down nearly 32 rebounds per game shows their ability to control the glass.


With these statistics in mind, fans can expect a well-rounded performance from the Texas Longhorns as they take on Incarnate Word Cardinals. The home advantage at Moody Center could play a significant role in boosting team morale and energy levels.


Be sure not to miss this exciting matchup scheduled for November 7th at 1:00 AM UTC (November 6th local time). Fans can catch all the action live on LHN (channel number:677) from Austin's own Moody Center located in ZIP code area:78712.
