*****ELITE 8 GAME THREAD: 2-Seed Texas Longhorns vs. 5-Seed Miami Hurricanes*****

[Eastexhorn]

Never said rets. cost Horns the game just they helped in a big way.

Enought ranting on my part. Baseball abd Soft ball won, and football hosted a huge amount of recruits.

This team should be congratulated on a great season. I hate that it ended this way, but it did. Nobody's perfect and that showed in the 2nd half. Team played very hard and without a key contributor.

We made the Elite 8 and almost the Final Four. WHen our head coach was arrested, who thought we'd still be this successful?

RT did a great job with this team. Give him the job.

Last ten minutes was not the same team that played the first 30.  Lazy offense.   I thought our D was playing well until I looked at Miami’s  FG %.   They were almost hitting everything nearly a 60% clip.   We matched them for awhile but when the offense turned lazy, Miami took over.

We need better size upfront and at the SF position next year.
 

This team had heart and battled every game.   We don’t have superstars on this squad but they played hard every game.  Can’t be more proud.  It looks like Terry will be here longer.

Hook ‘em!

So let me get this straight… If somebody's blocking me out, and I jump up in the air, it's going to be a foul on him, correct?

That was a pretty crucial time for such a bad call.  Granted, we had already blown a sizable lead.

Maybe not the differences in the game but still some pretty poor officiating. A long time bb coach friend and ironically a sooner texted me right after that play and said; “Texas just got screwed!”

 

[Eastexhorn]

Just my opinion but guard play is usualy what wins the big dance.

Due ro ranting at the refs. forgot to praise Bishop last two games he played very well.y

We missed Disu’s scoring, especially in the second half.

This team was a pleasure to watch - all year.   One of my all time favorite Texas basketball teams.

Next years team (barring a portal / decommitment disaster) will be extremely talented.  That said players like Carr, Rice and Bishop will be tough to replace.  
 

Probably need a big man & 1 or 2 more additions from the portal.

4 5stars on the team!

someone please teach Mitchell some Offense.  Make him shoot 200-300 shots per day.

Miami was built by the portal, lets see what Terry can do.

The Portal has been an important part of this TX team as well. 

It will be interesting to see how well coach Terry is able to recruit both HS and portal moving forward. That will largely determine how successful he is.

So were we. Allen, Bishop, Disu, Rice and Carr.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Terry night have recruited (I do not know) but was not the "

head coach. Miami played 4 guards Texas played 2 difference maker?

Guard play is what wins big dance.

Best story lead in line I read was Miami runs over Texas to reach final four.
