Even though classes have been canceled Tuesday for the University of Texas, the school plans on hosting the Texas men’s basketball game Tuesday against Missouri night without any issues, UT officials told the American-Statesman

The SEC game between Texas and Missouri tips off at approximately 8 p.m., well after any projected winter weather. According to UT officials, Missouri personnel don’t anticipate any travel concerns that could impact the scheduled game.

Temperatures in the Austin area are expected to plunge to the low 20s Monday night and Tuesday morning with snow or wintery mix in the forecast, according to the National Weather Service. However, temperatures are expected to rise above freezing by noon Tuesday, which means most roads should improve throughout the afternoon leading up to Tuesday’s game.

Texas basketball (12-6, 1-4 SEC) ended a grueling opening stretch of conference play with an 84-60 road loss at Florida Saturday. With little room for error, the Longhorns will try and bolster their NCAA Tournament case in a more manageable slate of games that starts with a visit from Missouri (15-3, 4-1). After playing four ranked teams in its first five SEC games, Texas only faces two ranked foes over its next six games.
