Who would have ever thought that Texas would have the series lead against NC and Indiana (2-1) in basketball?

Beating UNC in December has become a #TexasHoops tradition.

If only we could duplicate that success in March. ?

Brock Cunningham has a ridiculously high basketball IQ.

That's funny. During the game I told my daughter he's still stoned from the 70s!

Every team in America needs at least one Cunningham. The energy and effort is unmatched.

We still can't shoot but the added defensive intensity has made up for it and carried over from the end of last year.

Though we aren't pressing, the defense is as good as we envisioned when Shaka was hired. It is at least fun watching this team!
