What does Texas have to do to make the NCAA Tournament after win at Texas Tech?

First off typical Tech trash, no class.  Second hats off to BC for the statement.  Third UT needs to win 2 more to get in imo.

Texas hasn't won more than two Big 12 games in a row this season. I would put the chances of winning four in a row to end the regular season at 10-15%. 

Maybe I'll be proven wrong!

With how this team has played lately, they would probably lose to OSU and then go beat Baylor. I think 10-8 is doable now, Baylor doesn't play great defense and is missing a key rotational player. They also play KU on Saturday at home then have the quick turnaround on Monday.

Hard to be excited when we all know if Beard was here we'd be discussing if we are a 1 or 2 seed...

Glad to slap TT hard. Almost done with the weak tacos.

[CoachBobbyFinstock]

Hoping for 20-11 with us finally defending our home turf.

Baylor is house money to me.

He's never gotten a seed that high, so probably not.

I'm still on the fence about that ejection. But it was worth it for the resulting clown show we got. Any time the opposing coach has to get on the mic, that's fun. 

It was definitely a flagrant but I can see the argument over a 1 or 2. It's right in that borderline where I can see either way being justified. They're running after the ball and it's a shoulder check as opposed to the blatant elbows and punches we've seen this year, but at the same time he's not going for the ball and intentionally checking him into the table. Flagrant, but not really looking to injure. 

I have a feeling that play doesn't happen against a BYU or even TCU. That seemed to be a shot moreso to Joey McGuire's mouth as well as Yormark than to the tech player. 

Joey needs to retire the pep talks to the fans. It got his ass handed to him by 50 in Austin and now he's getting their basketball team destroyed at home.

The 2023 Sweet 16 ... crazy how many of the teams are either out of 2024 tournament or on bubble right now ...

Miami (Fla) - out

Kansas State - out 

Xavier - out 

Arkansas - out 

UCLA - out 

Michigan State - bubble

Gonzaga - bubble 

Princeton - maybe

Unfortunately this program will be average at best under terry. I don’t blame CDC for the hire, But his head coaching record don’t lie.

Would be a hell of a finish for a very inconsistent team to this point. As small as the chance, would make for a different look headed into March Madness ... Texas would be a 7/6 seed if they won out to end regular season.

What a weird year it's been for that school. 

I visited their campus waaaay back when I was in high school, and ever since it's always amazed me that they don't dominate in every sport. (Pepperdine's campus wasn't too shabby either... practically hanging over the Pacific ocean.)

I was there last summer ... amazing campus and area. But so expensive to be a college student too. 

Mick Cronin got hit with some losses in portal recruiting that impacted this season IMO

I'm just going to throw this out there because I don't think anybody has lol. I think Brock was actually making or trying to make a basketball play by diving & saving the ball from going out of bounds. I don't think he knew or thought #5 was right there. It looked way worse than it did & 5 got his feelings hurt....keep it mind horns were up 25 at this point....a lot of frustration from all Tech players.

I don't necessarily disagree with you. He did both lol 

[Red Five]

It looked to me like at the last second Brock realized he was about to get run over, and did a preemptive shoulder check. I would not have called that a flagrant 2. To me that's reserved for punching dudes in the face, taking guys' legs out while they're in the air, etc.

I'm with you on that @Red Five definitely didn't perform any Draymond Green moves lol.
