2026 Tournament PreviewTexas had to sweat the bubble after losing four of five to close the regular season and getting upset by Ole Miss in the SEC tournament. Ranking 42 in the NET and 37 on KenPom, though, was ultimately enough to land the Longhorns in the West's 11-seed play-in game in coach Sean Miller's first year. Texas is all offense, and 6-8 junior Dailyn Swain (17.8 ppg, 7.6 rpg), who joined Miller from Xavier, leads four double-digit scorers for a unit that is 13th in efficiency, per KenPom. The Longhorns know how to get to the foul line (8th in FTA/game), senior Jordan Pope (13.3 ppg) has made a team-high 75 three-pointers and 7-foot Matas Vokietaitis (15.5 ppg, 6.8 rpg) handles the interior. Defense is another story, as Texas struggles both to force turnovers (bottom 20 in turnover rate) and defend the perimeter (299th). Six Quad 1 wins show the Longhorns can beat top-tier competition, but five losses outside the top Quad show their inconsistency.
