To say that Postseason Dylan was back isn’t quite accurate.
As senior forward Dylan Disu returned to the starting lineup for the No. 25 Texas Longhorns on Tuesday on the road against the Cincinnati Bearcats, the career-high, 33-point performance by Disu was reminiscent of his remarkable postseason run before his 2022-23 season ended with a foot injury that required offseason surgery. Except that Disu’s willingness to attempt and make three-pointers looked more like his time at Vanderbilt.
In the 74-73 win over the Bearcats, Disu took 10 shots from the beyond the arc, making four, in stark contrast to his one three-point attempt during the six postseason games last year and surpassing his previous high with the Longhorns of four attempts and three makes he tied at the end of December.
