As we approach the one-year anniversary of All Things Longhorn, we're periodically revisiting some of the topics of interest that have been discussed here over the last twelve months. Today we revisit Friday, March 18, a dark day for the Texas basketball team:
NEVADA 61 TEXAS 57
What a frustrating, miserable loss to put an end to what has been a largely frustrating and miserable season. Texas lost to Nevada last night, 61-57, exiting in the first round for the first time in four years. The worst part is, Nevada sucked. They looked awful. They couldn’t shoot, they didn’t handle the ball well, they weren't great passers—that we didn’t beat them by at least 10 points is testament to just how flawed of a team we were this year.
I don’t know, but after Illinois struggled a bit to get rolling, the line on the Nevada game is probably going to be less than it should. I may just bet the farm on the Illini. If they play well at all, they’ll run Nevada right out of the building. That Texas couldn’t is testament to just how offensively challenged we are without P.J. Tucker.
I don’t have too much more to say right now. That’s a lie. I’ve got plenty of negative things I’d like to say about last night’s game, but I’m spent…

It was a truly disappointing tournament loss for Texas, and ended what was in many was a sour season on a sour note. Hope springs eternal, though, and Texas returns all their key players this year. Texas is a consensus Top 10 team, and has the talent and experience to make a deep tourney run if the team jells as we think they can. This football madness has been exciting, but the hoops team is going to be every bit as good as their pigskin counterparts.
