Previous season
In 2014, the Longhorns finished the season 5th in the Big 12 with a record of 46–21, 13–11 in conference play. They qualified for the 2014 Big 12 Conference baseball tournament, and were eliminated in the semifinals. They qualified for the 2014 NCAA Division I baseball tournament, and were placed in the Houston Regional, along with host Rice, former conference rival Texas A&M, and George Mason. In their first game, the Longhorns defeated Texas A&M by a score of 8–1, and then defeated Rice, 3–2, in 11 innings. In the regional final, the Longhorns again matched up with Texas A&M, and dropped game one to the Aggies, 2–3. However, they rebounded to win game two by a score of 4–1, and advanced to the Super Regional, of which they were selected as hosts. In the Super Regional, they were matched up with Houston, and swept the Cougars, 4–2 and 4–0, to advance to the College World Series.
In the College World Series, Texas opened up against UC Irvine and lost 1–3. In the loser's bracket, they rebounded to defeat Louisville, 4–1, and then defeated the Anteaters in a rematch, 1–0. In the semifinals, the Longhorns defeated Vanderbilt in the first game, 4–0, before falling in 10 innings to the eventual national champions by a score of 3–4.
