What does Texas have to do to make the NCAA Tournament?

Texas isn't a blue blood basketball program, and the University certainly doesn't approach basketball like they want to be a blue blood. 

 

I think that's the part that keeps me from ever being too invested in the basketball program even though I've been watching it and pulling for them since I was a kid. I never have a doubt they'll put everything in to win in football even if they screw it up at times, but seems they feel basketball is something it would be nice to win a title in but not dedicated to go all out to get it done.

I do think he will play one year at Texas. He likes the idea of being a college player ... and he has nice NIL runway

I will say it until I am blue in the face, but Ron Holland made a really bad decision. He could have been a one year star here, and eventually taken over the offense in place of Hunter. Shooting 24% BTA in the GLeague is not doing a lot for his draft stock. He's playing in a glorified AAU league which has not had a lot of success of one and dones getting drafted into the NBA. I guess he has a shot to rebuild his stock this weekend.

Agreed. And he is 6-6.25 without shoes ... his draft stock has fallen as the G-league season has gone on.

They are not making the tournament and terry isn’t a coach that’ll get us there. Can’t blame CDC for hiring him, But i don’t think he’s a championship level coach. 

CDC should have made the contract very easy to get out of. I wasn’t against the hiring last year because he just had to stear the ship that Beard had already put on course.  If they want to cut bait this season, I wouldn’t be mad, but I cannot watch half the games the play is so bad.

Posted the question after reading this article 9 hours ago that there are 9 teams from Big 12 in NCAA tournament projected including Texas (8 of 9) according to ESPN, and it made me wonder when the official list would be available.   https://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/2024/02/17/nine-big-12-teams-in-ncaa-tournament-in-latest-bracketology/

March 17. 

Still have three weeks left of regular season and then conference tournaments ... then the announcement show
