Vanderbilt basketball takes first loss of the season to Texas

On Jan 14, 2026, the Texas Longhorns handed No. Vanderbilt its first loss, 80-64, at the Moody Center in Austin, ending the Commodores' 16-0 start.
Out-Rebounding Vanderbilt 42-24 and outscoring them 30-14 in the paint, Texas controlled the paint and boards, fueled by free-throw success, with Vokietaitis making all four of his free throws.
Matas Vokietaitis scored 22 and Tramon Mark added 21 with four 3-pointers, while Dailyn Swain posted 14 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.
Texas now carries consecutive Top 25 wins, building momentum after upsetting then-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, and will host Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday for a swift home test.
Vanderbilt shot 26.7% in the second half, missing nine of 10 three-point attempts, while Jalen Washington fouled out after 15 minutes and only four of 11 Commodores scored more than three points.
