Justin Bieber pays visit to Rick Barnes, UT basketball team

Mar 10, 2014, 11:56 PM | Updated: 11:57 pm

Canadian pop artist Justin Bieber has been known to frequent different sports venues in the past, especially when a top team is the feature attraction. His appearance in a Miami Heat hat at Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals or lying in the middle of the Chicago Blackhawks’ locker room come to mind.

Well, Biebs is at it again, though he’s reduced himself to the college level.

Despite the lack of a true star in 2013-14, Rick Barnes has led the Texas Longhorns to a 22-9 record and a fourth-place finish in the Big 12.

So leave it to the 20-year-old front-runner to try and soak in some of Texas’ well-earned glory.

The two-time Grammy Awards nominee recently performed at Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden in Austin and was more than happy to pay Barnes a visit during his stop in the Lonestar State.

Odds are Bieber can’t name a single player on the Longhorns’ roster, but he’s no stranger to the ‘Hook em’ Horns’ sign apparently.
