Big 12 CHAMPIONS: Texas tramples Kansas, 76-56

Drop the Tournament champs moniker. Texas is unequivocally your Big 12 Champion.

The Texas Longhorns splattered the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday night. The win left no doubt who was the better team this season. Texas is your Big 12 Champion.

Undoubtedly, some will quibble over semantics and make the claim that Kansas, who got bludgeoned in a virtual home game, is the true champion of the league. Nevertheless, one team will earn the Big 12’s automatic bid. That team won’t be Kansas.

Texas head coach Rodney Terry coached a masterpiece on Saturday night. Terry, or whoever orchestrated the offensive game plan, schemed up wide open dunks and layups with back door cuts and screens. One of those screens set by Marcus Carr sprung Dylan Disu for a wide open dunk.

In addition to earning the league’s automatic bid, Texas improved to 26-8 and earned yet another Quad 1 victory. The Longhorns (14) have more Quad 1 wins than everyone but Kansas (17).

It’s unclear whether the win will be enough to earn a No. 1 seed. What is clear is that Texas is among the hottest teams in the country heading into the NCAA Tournament.

Power ranking the Oklahoma Sooners top 20 players

Preseason player power rankings for the Oklahoma Sooners football team. Can anyone take the No. 1 spot from Spencer Rattler?

Less than 100 days away from the start of the 2021 college football season. Expectations couldn’t be any higher for the Oklahoma Sooners who have arguably Lincoln Riley’s best team to date in his four-plus seasons. Most analysts have Oklahoma among their top two or three teams in the country. They are hoping to challenge the likes of the Clemson Tigers, Alabama Crimson Tide, and Ohio State Buckeyes in the upcoming season.

To do so they will need to run the table in the Big 12 Conference and win their seventh-straight conference title. They also need to avoid the early season hiccups of year’s past to impress the voters. This team is talented but can they pull it off?

Sooners Wire put together their top 20 power ranking of the current team. Which players are the most vital to a run at the elusive CFP Championship?

Social media reacts to Texas’ Big 12 championship win

Texas’ Big 12 season could not have ended in a better way with a championship against Oklahoma State.

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.
