Only had a 17% chance to win at this stage but the players and coaches performed perfectly the last minute. Tre’s 3, Ramey defense/Bishop loose ball, Allen midrange, Carr/Ramey Def, Carr FT’s, coaches foul after 4 sec run off. Total group effort to solidify a marquee win. #HookEm

Crazy how many folks blaming refs. Have to be real that was the worst half defensively since KSU at home. Way too much 1 on 1 offense the last 10 minutes and awful passes. Was a great season all things considered but next weekend will be hard to watch knowing we had the best team

Horns open as a 5 point favorite Sunday to get win #30 and along with UConn have best Vegas odds to win the tournament at +300. Should be favored in every possible scenario of games that remain especially if Disu can get healthy enough to give a few minutes. #HookEm #BeatTheCanes

Just end this before someone else gets hurt. This Xavier team lead by their clown of a coach is a disgrace.

Little doubt that the game Sunday afternoon will be the best 2 teams playing right now going head to head for the right to go to Houston as the favorite in the Final 4. #HookEm #BeatTheCanes

Good thing the lead is so massive as Texas may end up having to trot out Alex, Gavin and ColeBott to have enough bodies to make the Elite 8 official. Same ref has called all 5 bs fouls this half. #HookEm

Huge 3’s from Hunter (setting up a 2 for 1) then Allen at buzzer to take what appears to be an insurmountable 17 point lead at half. The 5 players that have scored plus Brock have played with all their heart and appear locked to close this out. #HookEm

Terry and staff pushing all the right buttons based on the 2/7 off~suit we were dealt with no Disu and 2 bs fouls in a minute on Rice. CB has been amazing and they realized Morris was a deer in headlights so they rolled the dice for Rice to play smart and it’s paid off. #HookEm

Might have to trust Rice not to pick up the third foul as #2 doesn’t seem ready for this stage. #HookEm

With Sir out the rest of the half and Disu out maybe for the weekend to ve successful tonight it will have to be a Marcus Carr game. Fine with that as he is ready for this moment. #HooKEm

@jneutzler @TheHornATX if it wasn’t for him this wouldn’t be happening right now so I’m fine with that Gif #HookEm

@TheHornATX Home. But, that’s the image you chose?

The last time that a 1 seed didn’t win the NCAA tournament the Final Four was held in Houston. Villanova was a 2 seed welp the Horns are the only 2 seed left. #HookEm

@stina_huang DMitch needs to contribute tonight! #HookEm

Starters for tonight’s Sweet Sixteen game against Xavier:

As we head to the start of the tonight’s game Texas is the highest ranked team left in the NCAA tournament and now the Vegas favorite to cut down the nets in 10 days! #HookEm

Welp chalk in the Midwest bracket with the 1-5 seeds remaining. Will have to earn the Final 4 bid by going through a couple of Top 20 teams in KC. #BeatXavier #HookEm

SWEET 16. First time in 15 years. Lock this staff up now. @DylanDisu becomes leading scorer for the 4th time in 8 games and sets a @TexasMBB record for 14 FG’s in a tournament game. #HookEm

26 wins and Big 12 Champs!! Lock Terry up now before someone else offers!! #HookEm

17 wins the most ever at home for @TexasMBB the new facility made a huge difference all year. 6-0 vs ranked teams. Just wild the 1 loss was when we scored the most points all season! #HookEm

Texas is 20 min away from another 22 win season. This will be the first time since 2011 that the Horns have achieved that. Lots more W’s to come. #HookEm

A win tonight will guarantee the Horns no worse than a 4 seed in KC. Clones are 2-7 in road games so be there early and get loud to knock them out quick. #HookEm

Top 7 of Big 12 are all within 2 games of each other with 7 games to play. Wild scenario that someone in the Top 20 will have to play Texas Tech just to get into the Big 12 Tourney. As much as I would like to beat them 3 times let’s have that not be us. #HookEm #BeatWVU
