If around 905 PM CT you heard the distant sound of air escaping, that was me finally relaxing. A Texas team which is facing a serious crisis of faith put together a good enough game to close out a home win against Kansas State, 64-50. This is not to say I think things are on the right track or that the major problems with the team are resolved, but it is a relief that Texas avoided a loss which could have sent things spiraling beyond a question of “if Texas is a NIT or NCAA team” and into the level of “why would the CBI even offer them a spot”.
