After being deprived of the joyous event that is March Madness last season as Covid-19 took hold, the Texas Longhorns are set for the Big 12 Tournament on Thursday evening.

The BON staff got together to discuss what Texas needs to do to enjoy some success in the conference tournament and what we still need to see to feel confident about the Longhorns entering the NCAA Tournament.
