Texas unable to overcome early deficit, falls to Tennessee: Post-game thread

Texas unable to overcome early deficit, falls to Tennessee: Post-game thread

Photo by Jared C. Tilton/ The Longhorns make a second-round exit from the NCAA Tournament. It was once again an ugly outing for the Texas Longhorns, falling behind by double-digits in the first half, a deficit they couldn't overcome despite late-game heroics, falling to the Tennessee Volunteers 62-58. Texas held the Volunteers and their offensive stars to just 33.8 percent from the floor and 3/25 from three-point range, which would normally be a recipe for success in the NCAA Tournament. However, the Longhorns struggled offensively under pressure from the Volunteers,...

How to watch No. 7 seed Texas vs. No. 2 seed Tennessee: Game time, TV, live streaming, and more

Photo by Jared C. Tilton/ Against the Colorado State Rams, the Texas Longhorns did what they seemed unable to so many times this season — overcome ugly play and hold off an attempted comeback for the win. It looked ugly at times, with both teams struggling to hit outside shots, but the Longhorns’ brand of physical defense and late-game offensive surge was enough to propel them to the Round of 32. The win set up a matchup against a familiar foe in the Tennesee Volunteers, led by former head coach Rick Barnes, who hired current head coach Rodney Terry to his staff in...

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports The Longhorns face a tough matchup after the Rams dominated the Cavaliers in the First Four. From their struggles in the regular season to the early exit from the Big 12 tournament, it’s safe to say that the Texas Longhorns’ season has been disappointing thus far. But now, with the NCAA Tournament on hand, Texas has a chance to reverse the story of their season with a long stay in the tournament. After making the Elite Eight a year ago, No. 7 seed Texas hopes to at least threaten a return trip, a journey that starts in Charlotte on...

How No. 7 seed Texas can make it out of the Midwest region

How No. 7 seed Texas can make it out of the Midwest region

Aaron E. Martinez/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK The Longhorns face long odds to win the tournament with the challenge starting in the Midwest. This time last year, the Texas Longhorns were the No. 2 seed in the Midwest region and seemingly poised to make a run at their first Final Four in two decades. Fast-forward a year and through an up-and-down season, the Longhorns have long odds of making it out of the region. Appropriately, as the No. 7 seed, Texas is tied with the South Carolina Gamecocks, the sixth seed, with the seventh-best odds to make it out of the...

Texas continues to search for answers at edge

Texas continues to search for answers at edge

Photo by David K Purdy/ Unable to create consistent havoc from the edge, Texas needs to find answers in the spring. For several years running, the Texas Longhorns have needed answers on the edge, especially when it comes to rushing the passer. While Texas showed improvement from 2022 to 2023, with five additional sacks pushing them from No. 5 in the Big 12 to one sack behind West Virginia for the conference lead, the Longhorns were third of the four CFP teams, behind the Michigan Wolverines and Alabama Crimson Tide. When compared to the SEC, where Texas will play in...

Texas literally has big holes to fill on the DL

Texas literally has big holes to fill on the DL

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Replacing T’Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy is a tall task for the Texas defense. It’s perhaps the understatement of the year that the Texas Longhorns defense is going to look significantly different in 2024. Losing either the conference Defensive Player of the Year or the Defensive Lineman of the Year would be a massive hit to any defensive unit. Losing both in the same year, a pair that anchored one of the best run defenses in the country, means that Pete Kwiatkowski and new defensive line coach Kenny Baker. While T’Vondre Sweat and...

Four returning starters make the OL once again a strength for Texas

Four returning starters make the OL once again a strength for Texas

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports As the Longhorns take the field for spring practice on Tuesday, one of the offensive strengths should be in the trenches. It’s clear from how Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood approached offensive line recruiting when they took over for the Texas Longhorns that they knew an overhaul was needed — after Sarkisian’s first spring on the Forty Acres, the roster featured 14 offensive linemen and 14 wide receivers following a cycle in which the Longhorns only took two offensive linemen. Over the next two classes, Flood signed 12 players to a...

How to watch the Selection Sunday NCAA bracket release

Amy Kontras-USA TODAY Sports It seems like the Longhorns are a lock to make the tournament, but the drama surrounds where exactly they’ll end up. After a disappointing exit from the Big 12 Tournament thanks to Thursday’s 78-74 loss to the Kansas State Wildcats, the Texas Longhorns have had quite a long time to wait to find out their seeding, but that wait is finally over with Selection Sunday here. The Longhorns have had what can only be described as an up-and-down end to the season, with important wins over Kansas State, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State...

Five storylines to watch heading into Texas spring practice

Five storylines to watch heading into Texas spring practice

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports The Longhorns are coming off of one of the most successful years in recent history and are looking to reload rather than rebuild. One of the ancillary bonuses to the Texas Longhorns playing in the College Football Playoffs is that the gap between the end of the season and the start of spring practice is the shortest it has ever been. It’s a whole new world for Texas as they officially start the 2024 football season in a myriad of ways. Coming off of a conference championship, postseason awards, a huge crop of NFL Draft prospects,...

How to watch Texas vs. Kansas State in the Big 12 Tournament: Game time, TV, streaming, and more

Chris Jones-USA TODAY Sports The Longhorns and Wildcats square off for their final time in the Big 12. The Texas Longhorns seem to be a lock for the NCAA Tournament, but a strong showing in the Big 12 Tournament could bode well for their seeding and standing as the regular season comes to a close. Once again in 2024, the Big 12 was one of the toughest conferences in college basketball, with the top-seeded Houston Cougars losing three games and coming close to dropping additional games on a few occasions. Texas, despite some troubles with consistency down the stretch,...
