Yall FLAMED me for this take. Longhorns are now one win away from the Elite 8. 🤷♂️🤷♂️

Texas is one of those teams that nobody talks about, but will end up in the elite eight.

In "Cinderella", her resentful stepfamily reduces her to a servant and deems her unfit to be seen among them. She eats scraps, is barred from the ball, and left behind while the privileged go dance.
Not only is Texas not Cinderella, they’re the stepfamily trying to keep her out.

No. 11 Texas upsets No. 3 Gonzaga 74-68. Cinderella is ALIVE!!!!!

This team is apparently the Cinderella of the 2026 tournament

Texas is an 11-seed. Texas went 9-9 in the SEC. Texas played in the First Four. School size means nothing. Texas is absolutely a real Cinderella.

Cinderella (Mid-majors) was an orphan who despite everything going against her in life (transfer portal, NIL) including her evil stepmother trying to keep her from getting to the dance, (ESPN) she made it and made an impression.
Texas is not a Cinderella team.

Sean Miller on his admiration for #Gonzaga, Mark Few: “I think one day down the road people will reflect on what he’s done at Gonzaga. It’s almost like a movie that’s too good to be true. How you can have that much success in Spokane, Washington, at Gonzaga for that long?”

What’s impressive is we didn't get much from Swain or Mark on offense

FINAL Texas 74 Gonzaga 68

I’m glad there’s an 11-seed in the Sweet 16, but I’m sorry - an SEC team coached by Sean Miller with the largest athletics department budget in the country CANNOT be a Cinderella

I’m sorry, 11-seed Texas is not a Cinderella.
When you have $7 trillion in NIL and kids are driving Lamborghinis, it’s not exactly a “Cinderella story.”
Now, High Point?
Yes, absolutely.
