Did not put right personnel on the court. Low team BB IQ. Taylor killed them. Very poor coaching job by Barnes. He deserves to be discharged.

I can't explain it other than coaching. When they played us here, I thought they were the best team we played all season. They've stunk in the second half of the year.

Only 2 words needed here Rick Barnes!

Barnes sucks but that isn't what happened this year . This year they were humming along , a top 5 team IMO , and then Taylor came back . With all the talent on that team , and there is a ton boy , they were better with Felix who was didn't need to look to score and all his teammates loved him . Taylor is a bit more abrasive and is a score first PG and when he came back it totally threw off the teams rhythm and with a coach like Barnes that was the death nil. Just a messed up year for Texas but if they get in they could easily make a final 4 run as they 3-4 pros on the team.

This is exactly what I thought about Texas. Nicely put.

But, have to disagree with you on the FF run - if they get in. I think they'd be gone 1st weekend because of the same issue they had all year since Taylor came back. And they still have Barnes.
