Social media reacts to Texas’ Elite Eight loss to Miami

Texas’ season has come to an end at the hands of Miami in the Elite Eight.

Texas’ season has come to an end at the hands of Miami in the Elite Eight. The Hurricanes downed the Longhorns 88-81 behind a strong second-half performance.

Miami erased a 13-point Texas lead to advance to its first Final Four in program history.

A questionable foul call on Brock Cunningham in the game’s final minute gave Miami the lead for good. Texas would follow with a costly turnover leading to more Hurricane free throws.

Jordan Miller turned in a phenomenal performance for Miami, scoring 27 points on a perfect 7-of-7 shooting day. He iced the game with clutch free throws down the final stretch. All five Miami starters finished the game in double figures.

This Longhorns squad was one of the program’s best in recent memory. Rodney Terry did a fantastic job leading this group to a Big 12 tournament title and Elite Eight appearance. Unfortunately for Texas, the dream season came up just a bit short.

Here is how social media reacted to Texas’ heartbreaking loss to Miami.

Report: Texas F Dylan Disu a game-time decision against Miami

Dylan Disu’s status for the Elite Eight is in question.

Texas senior forward Dylan Disu left the Longhorns Sweet 16 game early while dealing with an apparent foot injury. Rodney Terry mentioned postgame that Texas expected to be without its starting big man going into the game.

The Longhorns put together an inspired performance despite Disu’s absence vs. Xavier. Texas cruised past the Musketeers 83-71 behind 19 points from Tyrese Hunter and 18 points from Christian Bishop.

No. 2 Texas is set up for a matchup against No. 5 Miami with a spot in the Final Four on the line on Sunday afternoon.

Disu’s status for the Elite Eight is in question. He is reportedly a game-time decision, according to Jon Rothstein.

Getting Disu back on the floor would be a massive shot in the arm for the Longhorns. He has arguably been the best player on the team down the stretch of the season. Disu won MVP of the Big 12 Tournament and turned in a historic 28-point game vs. Penn State in the round of 32.

USA TODAY Sports Bowl Projections: Texas to play Miami (FL) in Cheez-It Bowl

USA TODAY Sports is projecting Texas to face off against Miami in the Cheez-It Bowl. It would be the fifth matchup between the two schools.

Texas’ season took a turn for the better on the field, defeating No. 6 Oklahoma State on the road in a thrilling game. After back to back losses to TCU and Oklahoma, the Longhorns have their first win streak throughout Big 12 play.

Just as they moved up in the conference standings, Texas moved up in the latest USA TODAY Sports bowl projections. Last week, the Longhorns were in the Autozone Liberty Bowl against Tennessee of the SEC.

Now, USA TODAY Sports is projecting Texas to face off another historic program, the Miami Hurricanes, in the Cheez-It Bowl. It would be the fifth matchup between the two schools, dating back to 1972. Miami’s Cotton Bowl victory after the 1990 season was the last time they met.

The Hurricanes are one of the best teams in the ACC, sitting at 5-1. The singular loss came to Clemson, the current No. 1 team in the country per the Amway Coaches poll and the AP poll.

Miami head coach Manny Diaz spent time of the 40 Acres, serving as the defensive coordinator in the final three seasons of the Mack Brown era. He was eventually fired after allowing 550 rushing yards to BYU.

As for the present day, Diaz has one of the top defenses in the country. The Hurricanes are only giving up 22.2 points per game. Defensive end Quincy Roche has been the star of the show, acquiring 9.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks in six games.

Offensively, quarterback D’Eriq King is one of the most electrifying players in the country. A transfer from Houston, King has thrown for 1,398 yards for 11 touchdowns and four interceptions. He is just as dangerous on the ground, averaging 4.5 yards per carry for a total of 301 yards.

If Texas and Miami do meet in the Cheez-It Bowl, it will take place in Orlando, Florida at the Camping World Stadium. The game will take place on Dec. 29, 2020.
