They ain’t dead yet.
The Whole Damn Team
From the opening tip to the final buzzer, Texas was the more aggressive, energetic, and focused team. Every player played like they knew the path to March Madness ran straight through Norman. Texas never trailed in this game, and the final score doesn’t indicate just how much Texas took the fight to Oklahoma. This was a 20-point win hidden inside an 11-point victory. Mohamed Bamba had a career-high 18 rebounds; Kerwin Roach II hit his only two three-point attempts, dished out three assists, and sublet an apartment inside Trae Young’s jersey; Matt Coleman put up 11 points on 5-5 shooting inside the arc, dropped five dimes, and helped contain Young; Dylan Osetkowski broke out of his slump by scoring 21 points on 9-17 shooting.
