RUSTON – Louisiana Tech will face another Power 5 team at a neutral site this upcoming season as the Bulldogs will battle the Texas Longhorns in Houston at the Toyota Center.
 
The game will take place at the home of the Rockets on December 18.  It will be part of a doubleheader (Texas A&M and Boise State) in the Battleground 2K20 which is organized by U-Sports Group. 
 
LA Tech and Texas last faced one another in 2017 in Austin with the Longhorns coming out on top, 75-60.  This will mark the fifth meeting between the two programs.  
 
The Bulldogs are coming off a 22-win season and a second-place finish in Conference USA.  It will be another very experienced team for sixth-year head coach Eric Konkol as the roster will be made up of 10 upperclassmen.  
 
The backdrop for The Battleground 2k20 will be a campaign called Athletes Against Abuse. The [a3] Initiative, in connection with U-Sports Group, will strive to blur the lines between sport and service, inspiring athletes to use their talent, notoriety and influence to improve the lives of those around them.
