  1. I do think Texas will struggle on the perimeter with Tennessee's length a little ... but not in a win or lose way. SEC fans in the Sunshine State call Tennessee "UT" for sure. It's "Texas" in and around the state for the most part.
  2. Love it! And yep, he's played big in big games since high school ... when he left Mansfield Timberview High with one DI offer!
  3. Joshua Lewis junior HUDL ... http://www.hudl.com/v/2MjYK9
  4. Louisiana 2025 DL sets visit to Texas The Texas Longhorns are set for a huge visit weekend April 6 around a spring practice. That weekend will include many top targets and over 20 combined 4-star and 5-star prospects. But there will also be a few prospects on the radar yet to be offered. One of those is defensive lineman Joshua Lewis (Geismar, La./Dutchtown) out of the Pelican State. Lewis, 6-4.5 and 246 pounds, told OnTexasFootball Thursday night he will be in Austin April 6 after being invited by the Texas staff. The Dutchtown High standout is one of the fastest rising prospects in Louisiana in the 2025 cycle. He's gone from three offers prior to the 2023 season to 16 headed into the spring. Offers since the end of the 2023 season include Missouri, Houston, California, Illinois and Oregon State. Lewis has an official visit scheduled to Missouri May 31-June 2.

  6. From UT … Game 34: No. 7 seed Texas (21-12, 9-9 Big 12) vs. No. 2 seed #6/6 Tennessee (25-8, 14-4 SEC) NCAA Tournament Second Round Saturday, March 23, 2024 - approx. 7 p.m. Central/8 p.m. Eastern Spectrum Center (20,200) - Charlotte, N.C. GameDay Quick Facts • TELEVISION: The game will be televised nationally by CBS. Brian Anderson (pxp), Jim Jackson (analyst) and Allie LaForce (reporter) will call the action. • RADIO: The Longhorn IMG Radio Network broadcasts every UT game on the statewide network. Craig Way (pxp) and Eddie Oran (analyst) will call the action. Check TexasSports.com for a listing of affiliates carrying the game. Westwood One Radio will also broadcast the game nationally, with Jason Benetti (pxp) and Casey Jacobsen (analyst) on the call. • SERIES: Tied, 4-4. Last meeting: Tennessee 82-71 (Jan. 28, 2023; Knoxville). Notables • SEARCHING FOR SWEETS, AGAIN: The Longhorns are looking to advance to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the second straight year and the 15th time in program history. A win on Saturday would send Texas to the Sweet 16 in back-to-back years for the first time since UT went to three-straight Sweet 16's in 2002-03-04. • TEXAS-TENNESSEE CONNECTIONS: Tennessee coach Rick Barnes is the winningest coach in Texas program history (402-180) during his 17 years in Austin (1998-2015). Texas coach Rodney Terry served as an assistant to Barnes with the Longhorns for nine seasons (2002-11), when UT advanced to four Sweet 16's, three Elite Eights and one Final Four. • DEFENSE WINS: Texas held Colorado State to 44 points on 29.3-percent FG shooting, including a 6-of-24 (.250) mark from three-point range, in Thursday's win. This marked the second-fewest points allowed by the Longhorns in a NCAA Tournament game and fewest since 1947.
  7. Tennessee is No. 6 in the NCAA in field goal % defense ... https://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/team/149 This will be the key Saturday ... Texas will be forced to make a lot of contested shots in the mid-range and from three.
  8. I'm not going that far. From a matchup stand point ... UH was the team that Texas had to play their best game. Tennessee is a good team, not great. Saint Peter's is an awful offensive team, so Tennessee could choke them out. Tennessee won't be able to choke Texas out. Texas will have to make contested shots in the mid-range and from three. Dalton Knecht is a tough individual match up for Texas on the defensive end.
  9. Texas is No. 60 at 53.7% in NCAA effective FG %. Tennessee is No. 154 at 51.5% Prior to Thursday night games
  10. Tennessee has a +2 rebound margin for the season on Texas
  11. Texas No. 40 in the country in free-throw percentage at 75.7% Tennessee No. 59 at 74.9% Prior to Thursday games
  12. Texas No. 52 in the NCAA in three-point percentage at 36.2% Tennessee is No. 167 at 34.1% Prior to Thursday night games
  13. For sure. Rick Barnes won't let Abmas and Disu beat him, but they must shoot it better Saturday to have realistic shot. Texas will very likely have to score 70 to win Saturday. The supporting cast will need to score 45-50 IMO ... that's Hunter, Brock, Weaver, Horton, Mitchell and Shedrick.
  14. That's also the last time a Rick Barnes' coached team advanced to back-to-back Sweet 16's. So something will have to give Saturday night ... Either Texas breaks the streak or Rick Barnes breaks his streak
  15. Texas hasn't advanced to the Sweet 16 in back-to-back seasons since the 2003-04 season. That was Rick Barnes' best run at Texas ... Sweet 16 TJ's freshman year, Final Four TJ's sophomore year and Sweet 16 the year after.
  16. You had to dit didn't you!!! LMAO That was an amazingly bad final minute
