USA Today Sports’ has now released their latest bracketology. The Texas Longhorns come in as the number 11 seed in the West Region in the latest report from Shelby Mast and Scott Gleeson. Texas gives the Big 12 six teams that would be going dancing. Despite the fact that Texas is ahead of West Virginia and Oklahoma in the standings, the Longhorns have the lowest seed of any of the Big 12 teams.
Of course Selection Sunday is all that matters in terms of who will officially be invited to the dance, the Longhorns have one game remaining against Oklahoma State prior to the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City, MO.
Right now Texas is the third seed along with Texas Tech, who will host Kansas on Saturday. Should Texas and Kansas win their games, the Longhorns would be in sole possession of the third seed and would play Oklahoma in the quarterfinals as everything stands at this point.
