VIDEO: Texas Has Too Many Resources To Be An Average Team

The Texas Longhorns comeback attempt came up short against the Cincinnati Bearcats as they fell 65-59. The loss was not unexpected as Texas was the No. 11 seed and Cincinnati was a No. 6 seed, but the way Texas loss is what was concerning. Texas was getting blown out in the first half and had to come back from a 14-point first half deficit.

Dan Rubenstein and Bomani Jones go over the game and pondered what Texas needs to do get to the Sweet 16 which is something that they have not done in the past four NCAA Tournaments. Jones points out how far Texas has fallen since they made the Final Four in 2004 and he questions that head coach Rick Barnes has no offensive strategy. However, he does mention that Texas has too much going in their favor to be this mediocre.
