If they had played two or three games we lost in the regular season with as much as intensity they played the last three, we would have been in the tourney. they were playing other teams that didn't make the tournament either. let's not get carried away. might as well win the tournament since we were in it, we won 5 in a row against average teams, but this doesn't change a lot as to where we are.

We don’t have a single 5 star player on this roster.
April 5, 20196 yr This was like winning the Texas Bowl against Mizzou. Going to propel us to a sweet 16 next year, then a final 4 the next!Are you snorting coke?

April 5, 20196 yr they were playing other teams that didn't make the tournament either. let's not get carried away. might as well win the tournament since we were in it, we won 5 in a row against average teams, but this doesn't change a lot as to where we are.It could be argued a few teams in the NIT very well could have made the NCAA’s if it were not for auto bids which every conference is entitled to no matter how much the conference sucked. Honestly my expectations were low at the start of the NIT. I thought we were going to lose to SDSU and we almost did. But we managed to play some decent ball, save for a couple of meltdowns against Colorado, TCU and tonight.

April 5, 20196 yr Congrats to the team. You could tell it meant something to them. Once you're in it, go ahead and win it. Which they did with relative ease, once shots started to fall. I have no idea what it means for the future of the program, but seeing as Shaka was almost certain to be retained anyway, I'll just hope it's stepping stone to a much better season. Hook 'em.

If Febres and one other guy are hot from 3 we can play with most teams. again, its great for the players and its always better to win than lose.

April 5, 20196 yr 1 minute ago, Quagmire said: Yay? You would've preferred that we lost? All jokes aside, doubt anyone is going to be donning an "NIT champs" shirt. This team underachieved for most of the season and should've been in the running for the league title and a low single-digit NCAA seed. Still, I'm happy for the players and for the school. We might not think much of it, but you can see it meant a lot to them. They won a trophy and a couple of nationally televised games at Madison Square Garden--it's an experience they'll keep with them the rest of their lives. But, no, it's absolutely not on par with doing damage in the main event.
April 5, 20196 yr They made best of a bad situation they put themselves in due to relatively poor regular season. Way to finish strong.

Yep. 69 jokes aside, if you were to eliminate auto-bids and seed teams purely based on resume, Texas would have been around #45 in the NCAA tourney. That's... still not good enough. Metrics say this was around a top-30 team, and the win-loss record did not reflect that. That said, they finished the season out the right way. Losing because "you didn't care" is for shitty SEC fans.

April 5, 20196 yr Popular Post I'm gonna be at the bar at the Round Rock Olive Garden all night celebrating this championship season. How many scotches will it take for this championship buzz to come down? I don't know. You do the math, I'm doing the alfredo, and the hostess, in that order. Maybe both at the same time. Who knows. Anything goes when the Horns win a title. Edited April 5, 20196 yr by Goo Punch
April 5, 20196 yr Popular Post Completely understand the sardonic celebrations, but it's also true that if you're playing then you play to win. Congratulations to the team for stepping up and showing out instead of getting their asses kicked then claiming it was because they didn't want to be there like a bitchass SEC football team.

April 5, 20196 yr I am picturing a waitress covered in alfredo sauce. Mrs. Walden is wondering now why I'm looking at her funny.
