As Texas Tech fans shouted explicit chants at the Texas Longhorns’ basketball team, junior Brock Cunningham took the chance to egg on the crowd. Cunningham walked from around the team’s bus to the crowd of Red Raiders’ fans gathered to heckle them, raising his hands with the “Horns” signal and baiting the crowd.

Texas and Texas Tech already have a strong rivalry, but the storyline this season involving Texas head coach Chris Beard has sent it to a new level. Beard took over as head coach of Texas following the 2021 season, making this his first return to Lubbock and his former team.

Texas Tech fans gathered to greet the Texas players and their former coach with loud boos and strong words, eventually growing into an explicit chant. If the Red Raiders’ welcoming committee is any indication, Tuesday’s matchup between the programs will be a hostile environment for sure.

You can watch the full sequence here. Warning — there is strong language.

Cunningham came out from behind the team bus with a big smile, embracing the not-so-warm welcome his teammates were receiving. Acknowledging the chant, Cunningham moved his hands to the rhythm while looking around at the large crowd above him.

Although he hasn’t filled the stat sheet in his time with the Longhorns, Cunningham has seen steady playing time off the bench. In 62 games, Cunningham averaged 12.6 minutes per game and 1.9 points. Despite limited playing time, Cunningham has managed to record double-digit rebounds in three games.

Texas has earned the No. 23 ranking in the latest AP Poll after wins against No. 22 Tennessee, TCU and Oklahoma State last week. The Longhorns prepare to take a major win for their resume if they can top No. 12 Texas Tech tomorrow on the road. Texas currently boasts the best scoring defense in the nation, allowing just 54.5 points through 21 games.
