Two things about tourny. I will root for Horns every game and against Kansas every game.

Agree but I would change out Kansas and add aggy. I detest aggy just don’t like Kansas.

In that case, you might be rooting for Arkansas in the 2nd round...

We get Colgate in the 1st round. Play agsy in the 2nd tound.

Colgate is the best 3 ball shooting team in the nation - 40% as a team. We need to be all over them on defense because they can score a lot, quick. The are a bad FT shooting team, so I am hoping we overplay them at the 3pt line and even if they drive by, foul them and put them on the FT line. They are not a good defensive team.

Aggy is very underseeded, they should have been a 5 seed. I don't mind seeing them get the short end of the stick but I also am not too excited about playing them in the round of 32. They had 2 really bad losses early in the year but have been one of the hottest teams in the last month or two.

Penn St is no push over either and they have some really good 3 point shooters. 2nd round game will be interesting either way.

aggy got screwed on their seeding and they have been playing very good ball lately. I stated earlier this season they were playing good ball and got the typical "f aggy" responses. Buzz is a good coach and has them ready to play.

Yea, we got no favors from the committee. Both possible opponents in the 2nd round made their conference tournament finals. We need to show up and be ready to play.

I think we got a tough 2nd round. On the other hand, I think we have a great shot if we make it to the 2nd weekend.

Once you are in thetourny you have to win no matter who , when or where. Even the low seeds can beat you.

OU did not get near to making tourny but blew out Alabama a #1seed.

Could not have said it better myself.

Maybe like this?

F aggy!!!

Ol Miss hired Chris Beard. That will be interesting to see when they come to Austin in a couple of years.

Like Barnes, he left on good terms with the fans. And even Shaka, though fans were disappointed in his teams, I don't think fans had ill will toward him.

Here’s a random question…. Some of these may be out of eligibility, but COVID makes it murky… what are the odds these players are Longhorns next year…. Assuming Terry is the coach:

Hunter

Mitchell

Carr

Morris

Disu

Biship

Cunningham

Both 5 star recruits signed

I think Terry is still auditioning for the two 5-stars.

Carr, Disu, Bishop are probably gone. Hunter should return if he has a covid year. Morris and Mitchell need more time and clearly aren't ready for the next level yet. Cunningham should return if it's possible. What else is he going to do? lol

 

[Eastexhorn]

Hasent Cunningham announced he is returning?

 

[tejasrulz]

Hasent Cunningham announced he is returning?

Yes, he's coming back for his last year

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Yes, he's coming back for his last year

To get his PhD? Lol. It seems like he's been there forever..

Hunter has only played 2 years and will likely be back.

Mitchell has an NBA decision but scoring less than 5 points a game makes me think he'll be back. Morris should also be back as he likely isn't an NBA pick right now.

Disu does have 1 year left, he has played 4 years but one was the covid year. He was honored at senior day but that doesn't preclude a return.

Carr, Bishop have played 5 years and exhausted eligibility including the covid year.

And yes, Brock has said he will be back.

I think the roster will look like G Tyrese Hunter, G Arterio Morris, F Dylan Mitchell, F Brock Cunningham and maybe F Dylan Disu. Plus the 2 incoming freshmen 5 stars and 2 redshirt freshmen (Alex Anamekwe and Rowan Brumbaugh). Will probably need a few portal additions to round it out but could be pretty solid.
