The 2019-20 regular season is reaching a dire point for the Texas basketball program. Head coach Shaka Smart is watching his team slip in the Big 12 standings as their NCAA Tournament hopes dwindle during the month of February. What made matters worse was Texas receiving injury news of late that if can ill afford at this point of the regular season.
Texas looks to now be without standout junior center Jericho Sims for the remainder of the regular season thanks to a back injury he suffered last week. Sims is the most efficient and well-rounded player statistically for Texas so far this season.
