New Texas A&M basketball head coach Bucky McMillan and his inaugural roster will face one of the tougher SEC schedules, starting in January.

Texas returns Dec. 3 to Moody Center to face Virginia in the ACC/SEC Challenge. It’s the only home nonconference game against a fellow Power Five conference. The Longhorns then host Southern Dec. 8 and close out their nonconference schedule with a pair of home games Dec. 16 and Dec. 22 against Le Moyne and Maryland Eastern Shore.

With just under three months to go until the first tip against Duke in Charlotte, NC, Texas basketball’s season is approaching faster than you might think. [Sign up for Inside Texas TODAY and get the BEST Longhorns coverage!
