TEXAS LONGHORN BASKETBALL 1980 Media Guide 4" x 9" staple bound guide, 72 pages, filled with black white photos, schedule, results, facts, records and more info. The 1979?80 Texas Longhorns returned only one starter, forward Ron Baxter. LaSalle Thompson, 6'10" center and future Longhorn great, joined the program as a freshman. Texas ended the regular season with an 18?10 overall record and a 10?6 conference record, finishing third behind Texas A M and Arkansas in SWC play. Passed over by the NCAA Tournament selection committee, Texas received a bid to the 1980 NIT, the last postseason tournament a Lemons-coached Texas team would reach. The Longhorns posted a 70?61 win over St. Joseph's before falling to Southwestern Louisiana, 77?76, in the second round to finish with a 19?11 overall record. Baxter, the 1980 Southwest Conference Player of the Year, finished his UT career as the then-all-time school leader in both scoring and rebounding. The media guide is complete and in GOOD - VERY GOOD condition with some overall wear that includes some creases along the spine. (see pictures)
