Longhorn has made many brilliant achievements in the early days, and the modern achievements are mainly concentrated in recent years. During the teaching of Abel Lemons (1976–82) and Tom Penders (1988–98), the University of Texas began to make its mark in the country, but later, under the leadership of Rick Barnes (1998–now), the team, however, L. Theo Bellmont, the first Sports director of the University of Texas, also made great contributions to the establishment of the Southwest Division. He took over as the head coach of the University of Texas at 19 14, and led the longhorn to create165448 and 15. Coupled with the 70-7 victory of Southwest Division 19 15 in February 2003, the two-game winning streak of 19 15 at the end of the season expanded Theo-Belmont's winning streak to 28 games. Under the leadership of coach Roy Henderson, in 19 17, coach Eugene Vangent led the team to win four consecutive victories, and then in Austin, the team lost to Rice University at 18:24, and the record of 44 consecutive victories became history. The 44-game winning streak of the University of Texas men's basketball team was maintained for nearly 40 years, and it was not broken until 1957 (1955-1957, Phil Wuppert's University of San Francisco won 60 games in a row). Today, the 44-game winning streak can still rank fifth in the longest winning streak in NCAA League A.
After a season in Van Ghent, Henderson returned to the team to take charge of the Longhorns. In his two seasons, longhorn won the championship in Southwest Division again with 19 19, which also made longhorn dominate Southwest Division four times in five years. From 19 10 to 19 19, the overall winning rate of Texas University is as high as 78.9%. During that 10 year, only three universities-the University of California, the Naval Academy and the University of Wisconsin (California, the Navy and Wisconsin) won more than the longhorn.
1920, Berry M. Whitaker coached at the University of Texas for only one season, and then was sent by L. Theo Bellmont, director of the sports department, to coach the Longhorn football team. After that, Belmont was the coach of Longhorn in 192 1 and 1922, and led the University of Texas to win more than 20 games in a single season for the first time in 1922.
1923, Milton Romney coached longhorns, and achieved a mediocre record of 1 1 wins and 7 losses. Later, Belmont hired E.J. "Doc "Stewart from Clemson University, and asked him to play on two fronts. He also took over the coach of the football team while coaching the basketball team. Stuart's experience is extremely complicated. The medical college graduate was also a piano lover, a sports reporter and a car dealer, and finally became an excellent coach. Stewart soon became a household name star at the University of Texas. In the open recruitment of the English Department of the University of Texas, he got the position with gorgeous rhetoric and outstanding eloquence. Later, it was speculated that Stewart had invested too much experience in many fields, which led to the unsatisfactory performance of the late starring. Stewart's first season, 1924, the longhorn men's basketball team achieved a perfect record of 23 wins, while his football team remained unbeaten. However, in the following three seasons, the team's record was not ideal, namely 17 wins and 8 losses, 12 wins 10 losses and 13 wins and 9 losses, and the football team's record also declined year by year. At the end of the controversial 1926-27 season, Stewart announced the class was over. In the era of Jack Gray/H.C Gillespie, during this period, the University of Texas entered the semi-finals of NCAA tournaments twice (1943 and 1947), broke into NCAA tournaments three times and entered the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) once.
Slater Martin is the most famous player of Longhorn at present. He played for Longhorn from 1944 to 1949 and was finally elected to the Hall of Fame. The team hired the coach Harold Bradley on 1959, and then hired Leon Black to coach the longhorns from 1967 to 1976. During this period, the team entered the NCAA tournament four times (twice per person) and won the Southwest Division championship with 17 four times.
1960, Bradley's team appeared on the stage of the NCAA championship, but unfortunately it lost to the university of Kansas after entering the first 16, and also lost in the competition for the third place in the division. 1963, the team lost to the University of Cincinnati in 16, but won the last game and won the third place in the division.
Longhorn also entered 16 in 1972, and was eliminated in the first round 1974. The Age of Tom Penders (1988–98)
1On April 6th, 988, Tom Penders, who had previously taught at the University of Rhode Island, took over from Weltrich and became the new coach of the University of Texas. The arrival of Penders immediately injected new vitality into the longhorn.
A few months before his first game as a coach, Penders's job was to rekindle the fans' enthusiasm for the Longhorns. He lobbied every Longhorn fan in Texas to cheer for the team. Penders claimed that he would lead the Longhorn to run like crazy, and promised to quickly change the team's death style after six years.
Penders led the team with 25 wins and 9 losses in the first season, which is the first time that the University of Texas 10 has achieved more than 20 wins, and this victory can also rank second in the history of the university. Due to the appearance of Penders, the longhorn became the winner on the field with its fast-paced and tireless fighting, and also captured the hearts of fans. 1988- 1989 season, NCAA's home attendance rate increased by 149 percentage points (from 4028 to 100 165438).

1On April 3rd, 998, Penders resigned as the coach of Longhorn because of the scandal of illegally publishing Luke Axel's performance to the media. Several players, including Axel, chris mihm, Gaby Munek and Bernard Smith, expressed their loss of trust in Penders and the team to Deloose Dodds, sports director of the University of Texas.

Although only seven scholarship players played in most of the 1998-99 season, even though only 3 wins and 8 losses were achieved at the beginning of the season, Barnes' transformation of the team in the middle of the season was one of the most classic transformations in the history of the school. In the last 2 1 game, the longhorn won 16 games, and won the first regular season championship trophy of the University of Texas with 13 wins and 3 losses, two wins ahead of the second place.

In four years, the Longhorn team won 98 victories, setting a record in the history of the school.
