Not bad for a team picked to finish 4th by the coaches. Hell of a coaching job this season by Barnes, Springman, et al.

I thought Big XII Championships were worthless unless you went on the win the National Championship?

 

[stanhin]

Great job, Longhorns. Keep on going!

 

[Bevo-Stevo]

What's that sooner? You'll have to speak up....there's a Big 12 Champion Trophy in our ear.

Big 12 Champs and a school record for most regular season wins, and the year after Durant. I'd have to say that this is Barnes' finest year.

Helluva nice year.

Congrats to the team and coaching staff!!

A great effort this year by Rick, and IMO the second best job only behind his first year. No slight at all, I just think the first year accomplishments will only be topped ever by Barnes' first national title team.

I think the guys are ready for a run in the tourneys coming up. This might be Barnes most confident team overall, and I'm not sure I would have said that even 10 games ago over the TJ Ford FF squad.

Great job by the guys and coaches.
We have all seen this team grow throughout the season, and it seems to be peaking at the right time.
This team really reminds me of the '03 FF team:
DJ-TJ Damion-Thomas Abrams-Mouton(yes I know Mouton was bigger but I'm speaking in terms of big shots, 3 pointers, free throws, etc.)
Connor-Klotz Mason-Royal(great defender, GLUE)

It is unreal that we won the conference this year. It is a real testament to the hard work that Rick Barnes, his players and his staff have done.

I never would have predicted it this year. I am SO glad I am an idiot!

Congrats guys, you deserve it! Now go get two more trophies for us!!

Hell yes! And a #1 seed in the Big 12 tournament.

 

[WorsterMan]

Woooo Hoooo!

Congratulations to Coach Barnes and the team

Hell of a season and a big opportunity ahead!

 

[Texoz]

Great season so far. I like our chances to go into the Sweet 16, with a decent shot at FF, and maybe even win it all.

Our defense has been good. Just need more shots to fall, and probably some better shot selection.

this feels really good!!!

but can i ask a question???? why does every site (espn, si, cbs, fox) have us listed below KU in the conf. standings when the big 12 site has us on top? are we not the # 1 seed???

I'm sittin' here, pretending to be Damion James, thinking:

"Man, oh man, oh man, I am SOOOOO glad Coach Sampson screwed the pooch at OU. That crystal bowl looks pretty cool right now. Thanks, Coach Barnes for taking me in after I saw the light."

 

[M C Orange]

Keep it going!

73, I think it was because they were technically a half game ahead of us before osu.
