The end of the season for Texas basketball came thick and fast, as the Longhorns saw an early lead evaporate in Wednesday’s First Four game against Xavier. Despite a double-digit advantage in the second half, Xavier stormed back to knock Texas out of the NCAA Tournament with an 86-80 win.
Now, all eyes point to head coach Rodney Terry. Texas has failed to meet expectations for two consecutive seasons now, and it didn’t take long for the buzz to start. Texas is now expected to move on from Terry after another early exit in March, according to Jeff Goodman of Field of 68.
Terry got Texas to a No. 7 seed in the Big Dance last season and won one game before getting knocked out by Tennessee in the second round. This year, the Longhorns barely snuck into the field in their first season in the SEC and then field to even reach the Round of 64.
