It looks like Texas basketball coach Rick Barnes has made a new friend.

On Monday, Barnes was pictured throwing up the "Hook 'em Horns" sign with pop star Justin Bieber—or, as the Longhorn Network captioned it, "that guy from Canada."

Bieber looks just thrilled to be there.

It looks like Bieber also played some hoops while at UT. Here he has his friend, who is a terrible actor, fall over while Bieber pretends to cross him up.
