Not a fan of that matchup

ESPN giving Tennessee and TxTech lots of love.

The Ladies have acoach .The men jury is still out.

If we just play good basketball, we'll win this one.

 

[General Hooker]

Tough draw, the boys better be ready to play!

At least we didn't draw ACU............ or Marquette.  Actually Marquette would only be a threat in the NIT.

Have you guys seen Virginia Tech play lately?  Terrible draw it’s an L for Texas in game one.  Sucks… VT is one of the hottest teams in the country

@Aaron Carrara Are we going to do a Hornsports bracket thing this year? I thought the last one was pretty fun.

Happy for Barnes and glad he beat aggy. I remember back when he was here and aggy always gave him major crap. He was pretty cool and took it but he could also get at them, very slyly,  when Texas won.

Kept aggy out of the tourney, one of the first 4 left out. Well played Rick!

The Texas Lady Longhorns are Big 12 Conference Champs!

Big win over Baylor, 67-58.

Congratulations to the Lady Longhorns and Congratulations to Rori Harmon, Player of the Game!

This is the ladies' first Big 12 title since 2003.

I haven't watched much but I've heard several people compare Rori Harmon's impact at guard to be on par with TJ Ford. Only a freshmen and the clear leader of this team going into her first March. Will be fun to see what she does over the next 3 years.

Rough draw for the Horns. Va Tech to open the tourney is a tough matchup. Make it past them, and Purdue is a terrible matchup for the Horns.

Big praise, IMHO TJ Ford is the best ever to play at Texas.

Brock will be back too. He posted a sentimental message after the tourney loss and many assumed it meant he was done. He clarified that he will indeed be returning. 

He is a big culture win for Beard and having him back is certainly a plus. I am concerned because it does put one of my favorite stats in question - Brock has more career fouls than points. This past year was the first where he outscored his fouls 78-72 and his career fouls over points total narrowed to +10.

Brock contributes with his defense, knack of getting rebounds and hustle. Any points he scores are bonus points. IMHO, he needs to control his fouls so they aren't technicals or frequent.
