Texas Drought Continues in Men's Final FourMarch 30, 2011 4:28 pm
From The Daily Six Shooter at PlaymakerOnline.com: Well it’s good to see that at least one Texas team will be going to the Final Four on the women’s side, but it’s yet another year where Texas is shut out of the men’s Final Four despite the Lone Star State hosting the Final Four and a regional. I’ve talked about this on the website as well as in the magazine. I spent two years as a sports anchor in El Paso and went to many UTEP men’s basketball games. At the beginning of every game, the public address announcer says something along the lines of, “Welcome to the Don Haskins Center, home of the UTEP Miners, the only Division I men’s basketball championship in the state of Texas!” The crowd goes wild every time they hear that and I can’t blame them. As a guy that didn’t grow up in El Paso, but is a big fan of the sports history in Texas, I got chills every time I heard it too. In my first year in El Paso, Don Haskins died and a prophecy was fulfilled. It had been said that no Texas men’s team would win a national championship as long as he was alive. And the last two seasons, it seemed like the Texas Longhorns might break through and finally win another one for the Lone Star State, but they’ve faded each year and the drought continues. David Barron of the Houston Chronicle did a good job of breaking down why the state of Texas hasn’t been able to win the big one.

That’s what I was feeling after Texas lost 70-69 to Arizona. The thing that kills me is the team’s ability to continually suck me in and make me feel this way. Back on March 1st, I declared the season over . And yet there I was yesterday, on the edge of my seat hoping that Texas could complete their comeback and move on to the Sweet 16. It’s the same thing that happened to me last year. There I was, in San Jose working on postgame coverage of UTEP’s loss to Butler, and Texas goes to It’s one of the blessings and curses of being so closely connected to a team. When you’ve gone to a school, shared the experience as part of a family legacy, shared classes with the athletes you root for, and continue to support the school after you graduate, you have the right to say “we” when you refer to the team. So it feels great when you win a big game and it feels terrible when you lose… especially the way Texas did...

Is it just me or does Tristan remind you all of a thicker Kevin Durant...the kid is a beast and i look forward to him playing along side Jai Lucas and Avery Bradley next season...I also have a pretty strong feeling that Tristan coming to Texas will bring his running mate at Findlay Prep PG Cory Joseph with him...We as Texas fans are in for a great next decade ladies and gentlemen...Texas basketball is here and here to stay!!!!
