UT-Austin can suck it.
Just, booI was rooting for Texas for the good of the conference. I wanted them to make it to the championship game. I don’t want Texas to win a championship but I do want the Big XII to; to keep the #1 basketball momentum going and never take it for granted. So if they made it to the championship game I’m not sure what side of the line I would’ve fallen on. Big XII bragging rights of having won three in a row would’ve been sweet, but Texas no.

Like for Kansas StateI doesn't even feel to me that UT is in the Big 12 anymore. Kansas State I would have been behind 100%.
As far as brackets go...definitely should have given more thought to UConn. How quickly I forgot how good they were through January. I had Florida Atlantic beating Purdue in the second round...I thought long and hard about the Tennessee game. Should have pulled the trigger as I wasn't sold on Tennessee at all. Just hadn't watched enough of FAU to know how good they actually were.
the foul called against texas on the block out was um....interesting
I loved it. Texas gets 80% of the shady calls to go their way. When there's no conference affiliation in play no one gives a [ Finebaum ] about their mediocre history and big bags of money.
That blockout call was definitely weird. I thought the Miami player was going straight up and not over and the Texas player was just blocking out. Maybe it came down to a player safety thing. Some of those replays indicated the Miami player was dang near horizontal at one point.maybe so, but my issues with that call and the block call on allen just prior are both players did as you are taught and get called for fouls so exactly how are they supposed to make those plays?
they were both different from the call at the end of sd state game as that is a foul and the question was whether or not something that had not been called earlier gets called at a deciding moment.
those two calls didn't cost texas the game, better guard play from miami and missing diasu were deciding factors

I thought that Miami looked fresher down the stretch and was maybe just more intense.

If there is one thing I won't miss about UT is their insistence of a fix every time they [ Finebaum ] the bed.my favorite comment is the jayhawk fan making a comment about officiating
Who would have thought a team from Boca del Vista would be in the Final 4. I'm pulling for SDSU.
