Why I will always be thankful for our 2021 team

Only UTEP & Baylor remain as the only schools in the state of Texas with a Division 1 National Championship in Men’s Basketball.

We could have choked like Houston ….but didn't….

i miss when the program had JOY. we have nothing now

Granted Texas is a predominately football and baseball state, but it's still hard to believe only 2 Texas schools have won the men's NCAA Championship throughout Tourney history - especially when you consider the amount of bball talent the state has produced throughout the years.

That talent is widely distributed in the college ranks, in and out of state.

That Baylor team just showed up and blew the doors off everybody. They had an unbelievable engine. Look at the personalities on that team. Wow.

And the talent!

That was a wild game!
