59-54 Texas with 7:00 to go.
Texas is 4-16 from the 3pt line.
Their outside game is definitely better than last year. Man they are powerfull in the interior. Brown is going to give many coaches headaches before he is done.
All that being said, I think UT is a sweet sixteen type team. Barnes consistently recruits better than anyone in the big 12 but never seems to get that far in post season play for the type of talent he fields.
Pittman looks like he might be in the best shape of his career. Having him more minutes should help them considerably.
I think UT will be good enough from the perimeter that teams can't sag off like last year.
Debatable.
Okay grace, except for KU.

I think Barnes gets the most out of his recruiting situation than any other coach in the Big 12 including Travis Ford.
I don't know Cheno. You got to admit Barnes has had some serious talent roll through there and not much to show for it.
No, I'm being serious. I think given each schools situation that Barnes has done the most in recruiting year in and year out. But yes, he's had some teams underachieve. Nothing glaring though IMO. What he has 2-3 Elite 8's and a FF4 and not any huge upsets that I can recall. Certainly no pattern of it.
Barnes best recruits are usually one and done.....Durant, Aldridge. This year he has a core group of solid vets to go with the first year talent and that should help him get deeper into the tournament. As an example, how far would KU have gone two years ago if some of those guys had left early....and many thought they would. Or, what if Aldrich and/or Collins had gone NBA last year. Would they be as highly touted now?
Texas seems to be a slow starting team that finishes strong.
Barnes hasn't won a championship yet, but he has reached something like 8 straight Sweet Sixteens....that's pretty solid.

Do what? Just in the last 5 years he's only made two. You must be thinking of someone else.
But blh said that their outside shooting is fine.
