According to basketball advanced analytics website EvanMiya.com, Texas forwards Christian Bishop and Dylan Disu have shared the floor for just 72 possessions throughout the 2022-23 season. Former head coach Chris Beard and current interim head coach Rodney Terry had a number of justifications for not playing the two Longhorn big men on the floor at the same time. While placing the two in the lineup may have made the Horns marginally bigger, it altered how the Longhorns operated on both ends of the floor.
