The Texas Longhorns men's basketball team is looking to extend its SEC winning streak to four games when they take on the Missouri Tigers on Saturday evening. Texas, led by players like Tramon Mark, Jordan Pope, Chendall Weaver, and Nic Codie, has a chance to accomplish something the program hasn't done in a while - win four straight conference games. The Longhorns will have to stop Missouri forward Mark Mitchell, who has been a dominant force for the Tigers this season.

Why it matters

Extending their SEC winning streak to four games would be a significant accomplishment for the Longhorns, as the program hasn't achieved that feat in several seasons. It would also build momentum for Texas as they enter the final stretch of the regular season and look to secure a strong postseason position.

The details

Texas can become the first Longhorns team in several seasons to win four consecutive conference games with a victory over Missouri on Saturday. The Longhorns last achieved a four-game conference win streak at the end of the 2023 season, when they won their final four Big 12 games, including the conference tournament title. To get to four in a row in the SEC, Texas will have to find a way to slow down Missouri forward Mark Mitchell, who is averaging 17.2 points per game and has been a physical presence for the Tigers.

  • Texas last logged a three-game conference win streak in 2023 as a member of the Big 12.
  • The Longhorns won four consecutive games over Big 12 foes at the end of the 2023 season.
  • Texas and Missouri will tip off at 7:30 p.m. Central on Saturday, February 14, 2026.

What they’re saying

“I feel like we have some older guys that want to finish strong. Like I had mentioned, there was a couple of guys that won their third conference game in a row of their career for the first time ever. I think that we're hungry and determined to be the best we can be down the stretch.”

— Chris Miller, Texas Head Coach

“He just imposes his will on the opponent: rebounding, physicality, drives, living at the free throw line. Playing both the five and the four, using his quickness at the five and using his physicality at the four. He's an excellent passer. When you try to bring help and double team, he sees the game and helps his teammates.”

— Chris Miller, Texas Head Coach

What’s next

The judge in the case will decide on Tuesday whether or not to allow Walker Reed Quinn out on bail.

The takeaway

This game represents an opportunity for the Texas Longhorns to build on their recent success and achieve a significant program milestone by winning four consecutive conference games for the first time in several seasons. Slowing down Missouri's dominant forward Mark Mitchell will be key to the Longhorns' chances of extending their winning streak.
