I'm banking that Texas is a young team with talent. Top 20 on talent and not even Top 50 on maturity.
So what does this mean? It means they aren't yet conditioned to show up for every game. The #6 ranking tickled their young hearts. They had arrived.
Except no they haven't. The #6 young lads from Texas cruised into Stillwater to pick up it's 7th consecutive win. But pop went the weasel. The game was decided in the 1st quarter. How dare Ok State. Despite coming close, Texas couldn't salvage their letdown. Perhaps it was for the best.
But alas, Texas knew it was their own damn fault. They fought like mad hooligans as the final seconds ran off the clock. Coach and players alike. They cried like babies in the locker room. They had done it to themselves.
Nothing can be done about it now, except to ruthlessly and sadistically gut West Virginia. I wouldn't want to be West Virginia at DKR tomorrow.
