I’ll admit, I am impressed. For a season that has been full of turmoil and upheaval, disappointment and controversy, this Texas squad has come out focused four games in a row. There has been a clarity of vision from this team that was lacking for significant chunks of the regular season. The Longhorns have shown different forms of dominance in different games; against Colorado it was an offensive explosion, against the TCU Horned Frogs it was a smothering defense. This team has been something else in the NIT Tournament, man.
PnR Defense
There have been some quality defensive stretches from Texas off and on this year, and while their defense has been less than the last couple of seasons it has still been above-average on the whole.
