He just received the National Coach of the Year award, going to be hard not to hire him.

Nice accolade, but if he doesn't win a game in the tourney, he may be gone. I say Sweet 16 to secure his job.

I think we're locked in at the #2 seed now. I guess if we blow out Kansas and one of the other projected #1s gets blown out as well then things could change.

If we blow out Kansas like we did last week, we should take their #1 seeding.

[Billybass]

Really ? I didn’t hear that yet. I’m happy for him. He seems like a good dude

[Big Daddy Cane]

Here we go!!  Let's win this game and worry about the seeding tomorrow.

Hook'em!!!!

 

Texas and Kansas are fairly close in overall talent.  The one big difference between the 2 is Kansas has a true go to scorer who can get any shot he wants.  It's game to game who will do that for Texas.

39-33 Texas at the half

[Huskie1]

Great half! Gotta keep the D and getting the ball inside

[UT1983]

Texas up by 20! 

[Huskie1]

Take it home!!

[Big Daddy Cane]

We might have made a case for a #1 seed

Espn just said that Kansas will be the overall #1 seed despite losing this game. We might need one of Bama, houston, ucla or purdue to lose to get a #1

If Texas doesn't hire Terry then they are trippin and causes me to give em a side eye!!!

[UT1983]

Texas.  Big 12 Champions!

[Baron]

Hook'em. Rodney Terry has my vote.

[texbound]

Awesome win!  And they did it without Allen.

I think Coach Terry deserves a shot. He has earned it and the results speak loudly. I was in the wait and see camp but I’m onboard now. 

This team has been fun to watch. No egos. They play for each other and have fun
On to the tournament! Let’s do something special!

We already knew he was a helluva recruiter. Now we know he can coach. Keep him.

[Sunkist]

We play some nasty defense when motivated!

 

Hook ‘em!

 

we deserve to be a one seed but won’t get it.

[Billybass]

Big 12 champs basketball and football before we leave. 
Big 12 can kiss my butt.

LMAO !!!!

A different thought did Shaka fail atTexas because he did not fit in? Apparently he can coach.

I vote forTerry!

Shaka wasn't the same coach at Texas. No Havoc at all.

Think coaching  at Texas might be little different  than Marquette.

Yeah, but he completely abandoned the style that drew Texas to hire him. It's mind-bottling.

I think Terry has given himself a lot of leeway with how well the regular season went and winning the big 12 championship.

that said, losing to a 15 seed in the opening round would make him an iffy hire. Losing in the 2nd round to a 7 seed would also bring a lot of question marks. 

I agree, make the sweet 16 and he's pretty dang safe to be the hire.
