| |  | TEXAS: Texas coach Rick Barnes got himself off the hot seat last season by leading a young squad to 24 wins and now the Longhorns expect more in what could be a special season in Austin. They return a lot of important players from a team that made it to the NCAA Round of 32, while also bringing in one of the nation's most highly-coveted freshmen in PF Myles Turner, who has a chance to be a star from day one. He was not highly recruited early in his college basketball career because he was raw, but showed the potential last season that had every school chasing him. He stands 6-foot-11 and can score from anywhere on the court. His ability to hit the outside shot allows C Cameron Ridley (11.2 PPG, 8.2 RPG, 2.2 BPG) the room the dominate down low. After losing weight from his freshman to sophomore campaign, Ridley became a monster on both ends of the court. These two have the chance to be one of the most dominant rebounding duos in the country, making it difficult for the opponent to score. PG Isaiah Taylor (12.7 PPG, 4.0 APG, 3.3 RPG) was one of the biggest surprises in the Big 12 last season. Despite not being ranked in the top-300 in the 2013 freshman class, Taylor showed that he is a blur in the open court, while constantly putting pressure on the defense. He should be even better in his sophomore campaign. With slimmed-down veteran SF Jonathan Holmes (12.8 PPG, 7.2 RPG and 1.3 BPG) and volume shooter SG Javan Felix (11.6 PPG, 2.8 APG, 34% threes), the Longhorns have a great combination of talented youth and experience that should have them contending for the Big 12 title. |

*Long Beach St.-Texas Preview* ==============================
Long Beach State (5-6) at Texas (9-1), 8:00 p.m. EDT
(AP) - Texas is rolling and making a splash among the nation's best just two seasons after it had seemed to hit bottom.
The No. 9 Longhorns, who host Long Beach State on Saturday night, have been ranked in the top 10 for each game this season - something that didn't seem attainable in 2013 when fans were calling for coach Rick Barnes to be fired after his first losing season in 15 years.
There is no guarantee the Longhorns (9-1) can maintain their success. Just look at the 2009-2010 season.
Texas started 17-0 and rose as high as No. 1 for the first time ever. But the Longhorns were unranked by March and lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
The squad now looks rebuilt for the long run, thanks to recruiting that landed big-time players and found a few gems others had overlooked.
The Longhorns have five returning starters and the addition of highly touted freshman forward Myles Turner, who had 26 points, nine rebounds and six blocks in Tuesday night's 106-61 win against Lipscomb.
Turner is arguably Texas' biggest recruit since Kevin Durant, but even he has to fight for playing time. He has yet to start a game despite averaging a team-best 12.5 points.
"I have high expectations for myself, and I've lived up to a couple of them," Turner said. "But not all of them."
The only blemish for Texas so far has been a 63-51 loss at No. 1 Kentucky on Dec. 5, and that result could have been different if guard Isaiah Taylor played.
Taylor, who was one of the big surprises in the Big 12 last season when he scored 12.7 points per game as a freshman, has been sidelined for nearly a month with a broken left wrist. He averaged 15.0 points and shot 53.3 percent in the first three games.
The Longhorns shaped up their game Tuesday after Barnes criticized them for the way they played in their previous two contests. They committed 22 turnovers at Kentucky and 19 in a 59-27 win against Texas State last Saturday.
Texas led Lipscomb 58-32 at halftime, set a school record for blocks in a half with 10 and turned the ball over a season-low nine times.
"He emphasized not playing scared to make a mistake, because we were scared that if we make a mistake, we make turnovers," guard Demarcus Holland said. "We don't like to be called scared. This program is built on toughness. We wanted to prove him wrong."
Long Beach State (5-6) comes to Austin after blowing an opportunity against another Top 25 team in its last game.
The 49ers visited then-No. 18 San Diego State on Dec. 10 and held an eight-point lead with 8 1/2 minutes left before the Aztecs took control and pulled out a 60-59 win. Travis Hammonds' desperation shot from midcourt bounced off the front of the rim as time expired.
It was the second of six straight road games for the 49ers, who also visit No. 20 St. John's, Syracuse and fourth-ranked Louisville this month.
"I thought we played well enough in stretches but not well enough down the stretch," coach Dan Monson said. "We fell in love with the offensive end and this is a game you have to win with your defense. They got too many offensive rebounds and too many good looks in the last five to six minutes."
Texas took a 4-3 lead in this series with a 107-74 home win Dec. 7, 2009.
