Texas profiles as a middle-of-the-bracket tournament team because its résumé mixes signature wins with damaging setbacks. The Longhorns boast a neutral-site statement victory over NC State and resume-building road wins at Alabama and at Oklahoma plus solid home victories over Vanderbilt, Georgia and Mississippi, yet those highs are undercut by heavy defeats to Duke and Virginia, a narrow neutral loss to Arizona State and a string of road setbacks at Connecticut, Tennessee, Kentucky and Auburn along with home blemishes against Mississippi State and Texas A&M. The remaining slate offers clear chances to change the narrative with home dates and a neutral home affair against Oklahoma and it also contains consequential road tests at Missouri, Georgia, Texas A&M and Arkansas and a trip to Florida that will determine whether the committee rewards the best moments or punishes the worst.
