March 18, 2025 - Texas NCAA Two-Step Mar 18, 2025

Show notes

Both the women and the men will be representing the Texas Longhorns in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, albeit on two very different paths.

The ladies make the tournament as one of the top seeds, hosting the first two rounds in Austin, with a clear shot at the Final Four and beyond. The men will have a longer path, sitting as one of the First Four games of the tournament, needing a win to make the field of 64.

March 10, 2025 - Women's Basketball Falls in SEC Championship Mar 11, 2025

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns entered the tournament as the No. 1 team in the country but the No. 2 team in the tournament, facing a tough road to face off against South Carolina for the third time this season. That road took its toll on the Longhorns and they came up short in the championship game.

Elsewhere, the softball team brought its big bats with them to Ohio and dominated opponents from the plate and from the circle. The baseball team also got things going, with the pitching seeming to find its rhythm in a sweep of the weekend.

March 5, 2025 - Women's Basketball Wins the SEC Mar 05, 2025

Show notes

The No. 1 team in the nation locked in the top spot in the SEC in their first year in the conference, a huge step in achieving their goals for the year. They may have lost the top seed in the SEC Tournament via coin flip, but they brought home a pair of conference awards and will enjoy two byes en route to bringing home the hardware.

While it seemed like the men's team was on the wrong side of the bubble, they managed to pull off a Tuesday night upset and potentially put themselves back on the right side of the tournament watchlist.

February 18, 2025 - WBB Extends Win Streak Feb 18, 2025

Show notes

The No. 2 Texas Longhorns women's basketball team took care of business against a pair of ranked teams, extending its win streak to 10 games in the process. With the win, the Longhorns have officially put themselves in a position to win the SEC regular season title and get a No. 1 seed in both the conference and the NCAA Tournament.

The men started the week out with an embarrassing loss to No. 1 Alabama but rebounded with a big win over the Kentucky Wildcats to get another ranked win and continue to build their resume for a shot at the post-season. What was the difference in the two games and how can Texas continue to build on that momentum?

February 11, 2025 - Women's Basketball Continues to Roll Feb 11, 2025

Show notes

The No. 4 Texas Longhorns hosted the No. 2 South Carolina Gamecocks and got their revenge for the road loss from a few weeks ago. The Longhorns' defense took care of business and kept the potent South Carolina offense in check, while the offense was able to weather the third quarter explosion from the Gamecocks to come away with the win.

The men didn't have as much success, dropping both games a week ago -- something that put their postseason hopes in jeopardy as they head into a pair of games against top 25 teams.

February 6, 2025 - Texas Baseball Preview Feb 06, 2025

Show notes

The 2025 baseball season is right around the corner, so we dive in on this new-look team.

Texas will be under new leadership with the hiring of Jim Schlossnagle from Texas A&M, who hopes to build on the talented roster David Pierce left. With several returning stars and key portal additions, Texas should be competitive in a stacked SEC.

February 4, 2025 - Texas basketball continues to impress Feb 04, 2025

Show notes

The No. 5 Texas Longhorns women's basketball team continued their hot streak with another undefeated week, capped by a dominant win over rival Texas A&M. It sets up a pivotal week for the conference title, capped by a rematch with No. 2 South Carolina.

On the men's side, they dropped a last-second game against Ole Miss but rebounded with a lopsided win over the LSU Tigers. They continue to get hot at the right time and rise up the rankings, positioning themselves for a run at the NCAA Tournament.

January 30, 2025 - Texas softball preview Jan 31, 2025

Show notes

The No. 1 Texas Longhorns will take the diamond soon, looking to build on a season that ended short of expectations -- winning a national championship.

The team that made a run at a championship a year ago is ready to make a run at another, with perhaps an even more potent lineup than they had a year ago.

January 28, 2025 - Texas has big week on the hardwood Jan 28, 2025

Show notes

The Texas men's and women's basketball teams went a combined 5-0 in a gauntlet week that featured last-second heroics and elite performances from the usual suspects.

How can the men, previously sitting at the bottom of the SEC use this to build momentum? And can the ladies use this to forget about the biggest blemish on their resume and forge a path to a conference title?

January 16, 2025 - Football Season in Review Jan 16, 2025

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns came up just one game shy of playing for a national championship for the second consecutive year. While the Longhorns managed to pick up two postseason wins, the 2024 season ended similarly to the previous year, knocking on the door of the championship game but not crossing the threshold.

How do we consider this season in retrospect? How do we reconcile Texas having one of the few 13-win seasons in school history while also knowing there was an opportunity for more?
