According to NCAAs official seeding list, we are the top ranked 14 seed...oh that UCA game! Who was the bottom ranked 13 seed to give us a idea of who we might have played

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. Very good observation. UT has a dominant big man who is likely NBA worthy right now (but he also can get in foul trouble of late,) and they play a lot of three guards as do we. Their passing is often way too loose and that could play into our benefit for sure. Their guard speed is really quick. A key, as always, will be shooting percentage. I really liked the way we moved the ball inside and then fired it out to open 3s. If we do that well then this game could be very competitive. When Texas has a funky lapse, they shoot poorly, but then can light it up so our defense will be a huge factor. We need modern refs who call charges. Texas does a lot of rolling screens as well.

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! they defeated them in the quarterfinals, were supposed to play Kansas in semis but they Kansas had a person with covid on team.

Could not find an up-to-date seeding order. I did see we were sort of a bubble between a 13 and a 14.

Whelp. I think this is a pretty good matchup. It shouldn’t be like the Kentucky game for sure. Per zoom, Golding said “they were there to win one this time”.

UNCG is matched against FSU. I don’t know of that would have been much easier,

They defeated Tech in their tourney, but lost to them twice in the regular season. They beat OSU in their tourney but lost to them once in the regular season. They only beat SHSU by 16, double digits yes, but not a huge blowout. This game will be tough as they are playing very well right now, but so are we. We need to stay strong and fight hard. We have to keep disrupting them.

Well, their fan forum already has us as a "warm up game". That's fine with me. Let them look past us all day.

ACU Bible verse this week -
Psalm 75:10 - "I will cut off the horns of all the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up."
