Always whining about postseasons in FL, yet waxing poetic about the parade and the San Gabriels.  Sheesh.

Iowa's leading rebounder averages 4.7 rpg.  Our center averages 4.0 offensive rpg.  Have fun with that.
Florida probably misses ten more shots a game

We just like do-overs.

So the BIG has 5 teams in the Sweet 16.   That’s good, right?

Well I enjoyed our unexpected little run to the Sweet 16.  Congrats to Purdue on advancing to the Elite 8.

Ahh, you sandbagger you :57:

I'm a little worried that Cam Heide will be able to give the coaching staff quite the scouting report since he wore the Old Gold & Black last season.

It’s 10 percent funny to me that Miller had a bit of a rep for postseason underachievement, and this run as a bubble team is gonna be one of his best.

i mean, almost anything can happen but I'd say it's safe to play the odds on this.

The good news for Texas is that this is year one, the roster has been pretty bare for a while, NIL is finally coming into shape for the basketball team as it lagged the football team for many years,  and so this should represent the absolute worst team he'll ever coach in Austin.

On the flipside, if he really does tend to underachieve in the postseason, then perhaps the team won't ever achieve any more than it has this year.

If nothing else, he seems to consistently build good basketball teams. And there’s something to be set for that.

Yup, good basketball teams are really all I'd ever hope for.   Texas isn't a basketball school and the fans just don't care about it nearly as much as they do about football.  That's the way it is and the way it will always be.  Nobody here "expects" championships although Texas fans would obviously be pleased if it ever happened.
