The Texas Basketball team needs someone to step up for head coach Shaka Smart. Saturday’s home game against Top-10 West Virginia would be a good start.
Tevin Mack was supposed to be that guy for the Longhorns until he was suspended indefinitely following Wednesday’s ugly home loss to TCU.
Mack took the Alpha role that Eric Davis wanted at the start of the season. But, Mack will miss the West Virginia game and perhaps the next two games against more Top-10 teams Kansas and Baylor.
It appeared that Coach Smart’s rebuilding process would feature Mack anchoring the backcourt and Jarrett Allen anchoring the frontcourt.
