Texas has some serious problems to address with the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments right...
TCU's Emanuel Miller and JaKobe Coles celebrate a basket by Miller as Texas' Christian Bishop, left, and Timmy Allen react during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game Wednesday, March 1, 2023, in Fort Worth, Texas. AUSTIN — Beads of sweat still dotted Texas forward Timmy Allen’s glum face about 30 minutes after a furious rally in Fort Worth that ultimately fell short late Wednesday night.
In a vacuum, losing 75-73 to a ranked, full-strength TCU team on the road wouldn’t set off any major alarms. Same goes for coming up short against the Bears, the preseason Big 12 favorite and a program just two years removed from winning a national title. TCU outrebounded Texas 23-8 in the first half and 46-28 for the game and finished with a 16-6 edge in second-chance points. A few days earlier, Baylor outrebounded the Longhorns 37-25 and attempted 17 more free throws. And in their first meeting at Allen Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks won the rebounding battle by five with a plus-four edge on the offensive glass and scored 50 points in the paint.
The most vexing thing about these kindred losses is that Texas managed to put itself in position to win each game despite struggling against the aggression and size of the opposition.
