Staring Down the Musket At...The Texas Longhorns: Previewing West Virginia vs Texas With Burnt Orange Nation

Cody from Burnt Orange Nation was kind enough to answer some questions about tonight's tilt in Morgantown. Let's get started, shall we?

Matt: What were the expectations for Texas in the first year of the Shaka Smart era? Have you guys met or exceeded them so far?

Cody: I think the general expectations for Shaka Smart entering his first season was for an NCAA Tourney win. Smart inherited a team loaded with talent and experience, so that should be expected with any coach. But this is also Smart's first season in the brutal Big 12, and until he's able to get an entire roster of guys that he handpicked himself, it's hard to have too lofty of expectations.
