With both basketball championships in the rearview mirror and the winter sports season waning, we bring back the man behind @Direct_Cupdates, Brett Wilkinson, to give us some insight into the latest standings. He also takes some time to help us predict whether the Texas Longhorns can pull off the three-peat and who the competition is for the top athletic department in the country.
We take some time to unpack two frustrating weekends on the diamond, with both baseball and softball struggling, before we Down the Forty and catch you up on the rest of the action on campus.
