Texas Longhorns Down Big at Halftime vs. Arkansas: Live Updates

The Texas Longhorns are back in the win column after a two game skid. The Longhorns dropped games to the Georgia Bulldogs on the road which was followed up by losing at home to the defending national champions then-ranked No. 7 Florida Gators who are not a Top 5 ranked team in the country.

Getting back to winning ways, head coach Sean Miller and his squad had to go on the road to get back on track with just a few games remaining in the regular season. The Longhorns took on the Texas A&M Aggies for part two of the Lone Star Showdown and left College Station with a 76-70 win over the weekend.

Now, Texas has just two regular-season games remaining to improve its resume as the calendar flips over to March. And in the second-to-last regular-season game, the Longhorns hit the road, taking on a difficult challenge traveling to Fayetteville to take on the No. 20 Arkansas Razorbacks.
