Psssst. Hey. Yeah, you. Come here. Closer. Don't make me say this too loud. You know how you say we like another school better than yours, and we always deny it? Profess absolute objectivity? Lean in, pal, because here's a confession.

Or Texas Tech.
Anybody who can drag this state back to the Final Four, actually.
Consider this brief history of Lone Star hoop horrors: Only a dozen teams from Texas have made the Final Four. Just one - Rick Barnes' 2003 Longhorns - has managed to do it in the last 33 years.
