Texas Baseball has announced its schedule for the 2024 season, which includes 37 home games at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. The Longhorns will also participate in the Astros Foundation College Classic at Minute Maid Park. The season begins with an eight-game homestand, followed by games against various opponents, including Texas A&M and Washington. Texas will also compete in the Big 12 Baseball Championship at Globe Life Field in Arlington.
Texas pitcher Lebarron Johnson Jr. threw a complete game and struck out eight batters in a 4-1 win against Miami, keeping Texas undefeated in the Coral Gables regional. Texas will advance in the NCAA Tournament if they win on Sunday, but a loss would require a winner-takes-all game the following day. Dylan Campbell hit a two-run homer in the first inning, extending his hitting streak to 37 games, and Jack O'Dowd hit a solo home run in the second. Texas will play Miami or Louisiana on Sunday.
The Texas Longhorns' poor performance in the Big 12 baseball tournament may cost them a chance to host an NCAA regional. The team's inconsistency and lack of success away from home have been highlighted. Other topics discussed include the NBA playoffs, the potential use of robo umps in baseball, and whether Brooks Koepka should be on the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
The Texas Longhorns had a disappointing showing in the Big 12 Championship, losing to Kansas and Kansas State after sweeping West Virginia. The team's chances of hosting a regional have been adversely impacted. The Longhorns have shown interest in former UNC guard Caleb Love, who could provide a nice 1-2 punch at the guard position. The Texas softball team faces No. 4 Tennessee in the Super Regionals, and it's a tight matchup that could go either way.
