After reaching their first Elite Eight for the first time since 2008, the Texas Longhorns were in a prime position to reach their first Final Four since TJ Ford was on campus, but a late-game meltdown - aided by the officials - sent the Miami Hurricanes to the next round.

Following the suspension and eventual firing of Chris Beard, the Longhorns looked shaky for a few games but Rodney Terry managed to right the ship and keep the team running. After leading Texas to one of its best seasons in 15 years, Chris Del Conte and the Texas administration made the call to drop the interim tag and make Terry the full-time head coach of the Longhorns. What can we take from this year's results to help us understand how Terry can lead the squad in the future and what he can do immediately to keep the momentum going?

We also whip around the rest of campus and check in with all of the other teams on campus, including the baseball team's nation-leading win streak and softball's pending top-10 matchup.
