HOUSTON – Matthew McConaughey knows how to wear any suit, but particularly a burnt orange one.
On Saturday night, the Academy Award-winning actor was integral to the action -- and easy to spot -- in a three-piece orange ensemble near the bench at the University of Texas’ Frank Erwin Center.
McConaughey, a UT alum, is the so-called “minister of culture” at the school. He looked a lot like a coach on Saturday night, caught on camera urging the players to stand up and support their teammates from the sidelines and took part in team huddles throughout the game.
