March is almost here. And with we start to contemplate the end of the annual slog through conference play.
For the Texas Longhorns, there are only four games remaining before the post season starts. Shaka Smart’s team is looking to lock in their position in the NCAA Tournament — despite the general malaise currently gripping the Texas fan base, if the season ended today the Longhorns would sail through the selection process rather easily — but the season doesn’t end today and there is still work to be done.
The Longhorns’ final four games — at Baylor, home against Iowa State, at Texas Tech, home against TCU — are not uniquely difficult when compared with what the rest of the league is facing, but not uniquely easy either.
