At stake for Texas on Monday night will be a 39-game home winning streak, which is tied with TCU for the longest active streak among Division I basketball teams. Texas last lost at home on Jan. 24, 2024 against rival Oklahoma. Since then, UT has pieced together a winning streak that includes 11 regular-season wins over ranked opponents and four victories in the NCAA tournament.

Texas owns an overall record of 64-5 at Moody Center, which opened ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Before Moody Center opened, Texas called the Erwin Center its home for 45 seasons. The Longhorns' longest winning streak in that venue was a 45-game run that spanned four seasons in the 1980s.
