Texas’ Big 12 season could not have ended in a better way with a tournament championship against Oklahoma State. Shaka Smart’s team only had to win two games due to COVID-19, but got one over a red-hot Cowboy team.
Now, the Longhorns head into Selection Sunday on a five-game win streak and in place to be one of the top three seeds in the bracket. The combination of Matt Coleman, Andrew Jones, and Courtney Ramey have carried Texas to its peak with Jericho Sims emerging as a star.
Heading into this year, it was known that this could be the best team Smart would have. Not only has he delivered, he’s even exceeded expectations. While the party is just getting started, celebrating the school’s first conference tournament win is necessary. Texas fans, personalities, and media members from around the country reacted to the win.
