Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted March 14 Moderators Share Posted March 14 Texas exited the Big 12 Tournament with a 78-74 loss to Kansas State in the 2nd round, the first game for the Longhorns. Now comes the question of where will Texas be seeded on Selection Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern time. With the loss, falling to a No. 10 seed would likely be the best case scenario for Texas (20-12, 9-9). Getting off the 8/9 seed line and not being tasked with taking on UConn (again), Tennessee or Purdue would be welcomed as all three teams are not ideal matchups for the Longhorns. Texas NCAA Tournament seeding scenarios The Longhorns are going to be a No. 8, No. 9 or No. 10 seed in the tournament. Moving toward a No. 9 or 10 with the upset loss to Kansas State Wednesday. Joe Lunardi has Texas a No. 9 seed following the loss last night. One projection (Jerry Palm), has Texas a No. 9 seed - same as before the loss. NCAA Men’s Basketball NET Rankings (March 1) Texas fell from No. 25 to No. 28 in NCAA NET after the Big 12 Tournament loss. The Longhorns are 5-9 in Quad 1 games, 3-2vs. Quad 2, 5-1 vs. Quad 3 and 7-0 vs. Quad 4. Kansas State is No. 70 in NCAA NET, and would be a fourth Quad 2 win for the Horns. Should the Horns advance to Thursday, Iowa State would be a Quad 1 win opportunity on a neutral court. Iowa State is No. 9 in NCAA NET. T-Rank Texas fell from No. 19 to No. 20 in Bart Torvik’s rankings after Wednesday night. 2024 Ken Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings Texas checks in at No. 25 after being No. 23 prior to the Kansas State loss.

Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted March 14 Author Moderators Share Posted March 14 Big 12 Tournament has been crazy to this point ... Kansas loses to Cincinnati 72-52. TCU fired a lot of bricks today ... 17-73 (2-20 from three) in the loss to Houston, but had 55 rebounds (25 offensive). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NothinButDaHorns34 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Inconsistent basketball team with only TWO reliable scorers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachBobbyFinstock Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I want a 10 seed but we don’t deserve that break. The die has been cast for this team. We deserve an 8 or 9 to get set up for a real butt kicking in the 2nd round if we even get that far to be honest. Too inconsistent and terrible losses are littered across the schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookemHorns Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Looking like a 9, with a tough opening round game and a very challenging 2nd if we make it that far. But I know that I, for one, am thrilled they made the tourney. It was looking very iffy for a long while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami and Arkansas are done for the year after a FF and S16 in 2023. Year one has been okay. Year two for RT will be the really big one in his tenure IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still has things to learn no doubt but some forget or just don’t realize about the continuity factor and how huge it is in sports. Something Sark puts a lot of emphasis on.

Neil Leininger Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I like the current bracket as well, Dayton in the 8/9 and Purdue as the #1 seed. Purdue can be had in the 2nd round. They don't have Ivey and Williams anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most over hyped college player in history can't sit in the paint against Disu. Their PG is much improved from last year, but they are very beatable.
