    TEXAS best team in the ncaa BY FAR

    this team is destroying everyone
    got a steal at BetPhoenix 22-1 to win ncaa before they took it off the board

    any other shops that still have them at 20-1 or so should be taken advantage of

    Lost to Uconn @home, and UCLA on the road.

    Dont be a prisoner of the moment.

    They still play in one of the crappier divisions in college basketball... Big 12 South

    They lost to USC on road not UCLA. Which is actually a tad worse. Texas is overrated again. Remember last year at this time? Everybody was saying same thing and then Texas lost what 8 straight or something?

    Texas has already passed that moment from last year actually. They just went through the toughest five game stretch that any team has gone through and came out 5-0. Texas' schedule the rest of the way is easy. You expect them to fall apart against who? Texas Tech? Oklahoma? Hah.

    It's a good possibility that Texas can get a #1 seed in the south bracket and then it's an even easier road to the final four - which is played in......you guessed it....Houston, TEXAS. It's a good bet. Good luck.

    I would never trust my money to a Rick Barnes-coached team come tournament time.

    Maybe but I am unimpressed. Big 12 nowhere as good as thought preseason. Baylor, Kstate, and Missouri not as good as predicted. A&M got a little higher in the rankings then they probably deserved based on non conference schedule. A lot of Texas non conference wins don't look as good now as they did at the time as some of those teams have struggled.

    You sir are correct.

    Remember Rick B had Kevin Durant, and couldnt sniff the sweet 16. And dont give me any bullshit about that team being crappy, b/cthey had DJ Agustine also.


    If Northern Iowa can advance as far in the tourny as they did last year, then Kevin Durant should be able to reach the Sweet 16.

    nobody else in ncaa hoops is beating top 15 teams by 20 points twice
    texas has won their last 7 games (all their conference games) by double digits, nobody else is doing this

    there is a heck of a lot bigger than 5% chance that texas is the national champ, they're almost a lock for a #1 seed with the easy schedule left

    unless there's an injury texas will not be an underdog in any game the rest of the year, including the tournament

    I don't know if Texas is the best team in the country but I like the way the Horns are playing now. They play a very physical style and pressure the ball. They have played one of the hardest schedules in the country and have an 18-3 record.

    The Horns are killing the Big 12 with seven straight wins, all by double digits. This team could be hard to handle come tournament time.

    Texas A&M was obviously overrated.

    My entire bankroll says Texas will be an underdog against Kansas next time around.

    if it were taking place in texas, then the longhorns would be 3 point favorites

    I will personally guarantee that Kansas will be the favorite.

    Why? B/c its a revenge game.

    Thats why Texas was only -1 yesterday, b/c its a revenge game. Texas would have been -4 had it not been for the revenge game.

    how in the world can you personally guarantee that

    they might not even play, and if they do you're telling me you GUARANTEE that tyshawn taylor/morrises won't be out with an injury

    We are dealing in hypothetical's.

    So if they meet again, Kansas is favored.
