    Sunday morning look at defensive line recruiting

    March Madness Report: Senior Day vs. Oklahoma
    The Texas Longhorns will take the court vs. arch-rival Oklahoma at 1 p.m. central today firmly in the NCAA Tournament. With the uncertainty around Dylan Disu's health for the remainder of the season, it would certainly be big to pull out a win today to take any potential decision out of the NCAA Committee's hands. 
    If Texas loses today, and is bounced in the first game of the Big 12 Tournament and Disu's health is in doubt, that is not where Texas wants to be on Selection Sunday. 
    For Oklahoma (20-10, 8-9), they are very close to being in "must win" territory. A win today 100% keeps the Sooners out of the play-in game, or being left out scenario. 
    OnTexasFootball takes a look at the rankings and scenarios headed into today's game. 
    Texas NCAA Tournament seeding scenarios
    Win over Oklahoma today: Texas is likely locked into a 8/9 seed in the Big Dance barring a run in the Big 12 Tournament. 
    With a loss to Oklahoma today: Texas slides very close to the play-in game scenario in Dayton, and could be in trouble if they lose the first game of the Big 12 Tournament following a loss today - even though NCAA NET suggests otherwise. 
    Texas’ Remaining Regular Season Schedule
    3/9 Oklahoma 
    NCAA Men’s Basketball NET Rankings (March 1)
    Texas is No. 26 in NCAA NET headed into the game tonight. The Horns moved up 13 spots last week from No. 40 with wins at Texas Tech and Oklahoma State in Austin.
    The Longhorns are 5-8 in Quad 1 games, 1-2 vs. Quad 2, 5-1 vs. Quad 3 and 8-0 vs. Quad 4. 
    Quad 2 game remaining:
    No. 40 Oklahoma 
    T-Rank 
    Texas is No. 22 in Bart Torvik’s rankings headed into Monday games.
    2024 Ken Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings
    Texas checks in at No. 25 headed into this week.
