Brock Cunningham remembers.
As the only holdover from two years ago, the last time the Texas Longhorns won the Big 12 Tournament before getting upset by the No. 14-seed Abilene Christian Wildcats in the first round, Cunningham had that game at front of mind this week.

“We won the Big 12 Tournament that year and then thought we couldn’t be touched,” Cunningham said on Wednesday. “And then this year, after winning the Big 12 Tournament that first practice back in Austin, we spoke about the importance of living in the moment — we won the Big 12, we’ll have that the rest of our lives, but we’re moving on to something bigger and trying to catch bigger fish, so just living where our feet are and preparing for the next game.
