What is the expectation for this team? I haven't watched as much as last year, but they haven't seemed to be as strong. Swept by Stanford early and lost to both OU and A&M in conference. First year in the SEC finished 2nd. What were the expectations early vs now?

Peaking at the right time, with the players they have, they have the ability to win it all with the players they have, but can't afford to have an off night where they struggle bus past an opponent like years past.

Should get through rounds 1 & 2. If they win rounds 1 & 2 they go Happy Valley for the Penn State regional. Don’t see Texas making to the Final Four, too inconsistent play.

Early expectations were to earn a 1 seed and compete for their third straight title.

Present expectations are to play above seed and compete for their third straight title.

USC made short work of UT-Arlington, so I guess we won't have to worry about a late start.
