The Basketball Team Escaped Disaster

The men’s basketball team escaped disaster and beat Tennessee State.

When his chance came to make a critical play, Matt Coleman did not have time to think about all of his missed shots and turnovers.

He just drove toward the basket and hit a shot in the lane with nine seconds remaining, enabling Texas to escape an upset attempt by Tennessee State 47-46 on Monday night.

The men’s and women’s diving and swimming teams excel again.

Big congratulations to Texas diver Grayson Campbell.

Here are some things to watch during the Big 12 off-season.

The Herman vs. Fisher era has officially begun in Texas high school football recruiting.

What’s the plan for the new recruit signing period in college football?

The NCAA says that by mid-December, most prospects are far enough along in the recruiting cycle that they have their minds made up about where they want to attend. They are tired of incessant texts and calls and want to have some certainty about their college destinations shortly after the fall semesters of their senior years.
