Based the current standings, eight former Texas Longhorns are on pace to participate in the NBA postseason. Most are sitting comfortably in the mix of things, but DJ Augustin, Mohamed Bamba, and the Orlando Magic are flip-flopping between the eighth and ninth seed, while Cleveland’s Tristan Thompson and Memphis’ Avery Bradley are fixating more on the draft lottery.
Last week’s brusque shooting woes fed into a dominant week all-around for Aldridge. He averaged 25.7 ppg over three games, boasting two double doubles, one of which came when guarded by fellow Longhorn, Jarrett Allen.
