The good, bad, and ugly for Texas at the College Baseball Showdown

Good early. Great late.

Texas Longhorns head coach David Pierce laid out the goal for his team’s trajectory last week. Over the weekend in Arlington at Globe Life Field, Texas fell short of that initial standard, losing 3-2 to No. 9 Arkansas on Friday, 6-5 to Missouri on Saturday, and 12-2 to No. 10 Vanderbilt on Sunday.

The Longhorns have been in this position before — the 2021 team started 0-3 in the College Baseball Showdown before making a deep run at the College World Series. But that team was coming off a week without practice following the freeze and had much higher upside.
