UT is the first Big 12 team to beat a Bill Self coached Kansas team three times in a row.

If you count the forfeit in the conference tourney last year it’s 4 times.
Regardless of what they do against Baylor this weekend Texas will get through a tough five-game stretch against ranked teams with a winning record. I don’t expect a road win in Waco but Baylor has been vulnerable so I’m not chalking up an L just yet.
The Athletic had them as a 7-seed in their most recent projection (posted last Friday) before these past two wins. Each of their final seven games is going to be tough though (Home v. Baylor, Tech, TCU; Road v. Baylor, Kansas, OU, WVU).

At this point, just finishing 500 in conference would be a disappointment, but weeks ago, I would have been happy with it. While they have improved, there’s still more room to grow.
And please, no more threes from Mitchell.

I went last night. That game was a lot of fun. Definitely didn’t expect the 7-0 run there at the end.

Hey, the bank shot was huge.
The Longhorns did at the end of the game what the Red Raiders failed to do in Lawrence, foul the guy before he gets to even shoot the three pointer.
Big win for Texas and really tightens the Big XII race.

I watched Self’s post-game press conference. He said the shooter should not have taken a dribble because that gave UT time to foul him.
I have always liked Bill Self. I remember watching him coach for the first time in an NCAA playoff game played at UT. I think he was at Pepperdine.
Never at Pepperdine. Oral Roberts, or maybe Tulsa.
Yeah, I was not sure about Pepperdine. It was a sub-regional, and I do not remember his school. I do remember him.
The video here is awesome.

I still haven’t gotten over my alma mater’s loss to the pig-fornicators in the '94 Final Four when I was a sophomore at Arizona.
Admittedly, that was a good woo pig sooey team.
Go BasketCats.
Texas Tech played their worst half of basketball of the season as a first half five point lead became a fifteen point loss to Oklahoma in Norman.
The Coogs played their worst second half of the season and turned an 11 point halftime lead into a 2 point loss at SMU. Three losses by a total of 5 points.
Not college, but James Harden is closely following the Charles Barkley model of multiple trades, an MVP but no ring, and becoming startlingly obese:
That was perhaps the least likely BasketCats’ Final Four team, but man does it still suck to lose to the pig fuckers.
