Did you create an interpolation function from your data?
data = Flatten[Table[{t, p, Sqrt[p^2 + t^2]},
{t, 0, 2 Pi, Pi/16}, {p, 0, Pi, Pi/32}], 1];
f = Interpolation[data];
SphericalPlot3D[1,
{t, 0, 2 Pi}, {p, 0, Pi},
ColorFunction ->
Function[{x, y, z, t, p, r}, Hue[f[t, p]]],
Mesh -> 10,
MeshFunctions ->
{Function[{x, y, z, t, p, r}, f[t, p]]}]
Comparing with the original function
SphericalPlot3D[1,
{t, 0, 2 Pi}, {p, 0, Pi},
ColorFunction ->
Function[{x, y, z, t, p, r}, Hue[Sqrt[p^2 + t^2]]],
Mesh -> 10,
MeshFunctions ->
{Function[{x, y, z, t, p, r}, Sqrt[p^2 + t^2]]}]
