Brutal draw at 14, but make the best of it. Go get ‘em.

Whelp. I think this is a pretty good matchup. It shouldn’t be like the Kentucky game for sure.

Agreed. Texas has a lot of size and their defense on the perimeter can be tough to crack. But if we drew Kansas, Virginia, or Ok State, we would have had match up challenges as well.

This is going to be tough. UT is on a streak right now, but I do think we can make a game of it. Roll up your sleeves Cats and let's go eat some Brisket....

Texas it is! At this point, nothing is easy.
Texas defeated Texas Tech in the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament. We played Tech well, but I think we are a more cohesive team and stronger now than when we played Tech earlier this season.
I think this is a winnable game, but it definitely won't be easy. I am usually a Longhorn fan, but not this week!
Let's go 'Cats!

I would love to see the big upset. That would be awesome. As an alumnus of both schools, GO CATS.

Playing UT will give us plenty of exposure in state. Hoping we compete well and have a better start than we did against Kentucky two years ago.

According to NCAAs official seeding list, we are the top ranked 14 seed...oh that UCA game!

Yeah, that UCA game was a dagger but a good wake up call. I heard about the travel difficulties getting there and that was unfortunate. Wish I knew more details about that but know very little.
I think the bigger problem is just going to take time. People remember just a few years ago ACU basketball was very low on the totem pole and for many pretty much unknown. A good showing, win or lose, against UT will really boost our reputation. This team has an extra gear when it gets rolling and when we show that on national TV, our fortunes will be boosted. Time to honor the team and give Joe a salary boost for what he brings to the school.

I think Texas will give us the oppurtunity to take a lot of charges, and they like to turn the ball over which plays into how we like to play. Tough cause they got size, but so would any other 3 seed. I think we actually match up fairly well to them considering the alternatives.
