Texas is crazy athletic... and the Jackrabbits will have to be prepared to handle the press. Haven't watched Texas alot this year, but I'm assuming Shaka is still pressing the whole game? (Havoc? I think he calls it?)

Texas doesn’t want to be there. I actually think the arena will be negative energy for the Longhorns. Many fans are done with the Shaka Smart era.
Unless your guys go in not caring ( which I don’t see ) I think you pull off the upset. I’m not even certain it’s an upset. TJ is very familiar with Texas and will have additional access of tendencies from the Cyclone office. I’ll call it 86-82 Jacks

Re: Bracketology
I think them missing their stud freshman is a big turning point for us. Without him, I feel like we have a good chance of beating them. Let's do this!

Originally posted by Southeast View PostOk, I’m on board now. A nationally televised game against a huge name in the world of college sports is a big opportunity. A lot of what happens in the first round of the NIT is dictated by the attitude of the teams that find themselves there. Hopefully ours comes in famished for retribution instead of licking their wounds.

Re: Bracketology
Texas looks to be an interesting team. They had like the 10th most difficult strength of schedule, but have gone .500 overall and 8-10 in conference. Still they have wins over North Carolina, Purdue, Kansas, Kansas state, and Iowa state. They also have loses against Radford, VCU, and Providence. Sounds like they will be without big 12 freshman of the year, 6’-11” Jaxson Hayes, who injured his knee in the final minutes of their last game. They still have three guys listed at 6-9.

Re: Bracketology
Some rule changes for the NIT. 3 point line is deeper among others.

I would quote the last two comments if I could. I think the boys know most all of SD is still behind them. I'm sure they are as disappointed as us. But, to know the state still cares A LOT should be a motivation. I think its called pride.
