Texas will Win the NCAA Tournament - Reasons Why By Dave Barend

1.Their coach, Rodney Terry wears little John Lennon type glasses. You don't see them often, but the man pulls them off. That should not be discounted. I, however, have always preferred Elvis over the Beatles. But how about a combo? They are unbeatable if Coach will tak emy advice and add some sideburns.

2.They are in the First Four. Yes, that kind of sucks. But someone from the First Four always gets hot. Texas is that hot team this year. If you can't feel it, then disrobe.

3.They just beat Vanderbilt - a good team. And Texas A&M - a very good team. So that makes them better than very good. I believe that to be unassailable logic.

4.Tre Johnson is a fantastic 3 point shooter. Really has to be with the name Trey. He drains them at an impressive 39.2%. But teammate Jamie Vinson is shooting 100% from behind the arc. Yes, 100%. This team will truly be unstoppable once coach lets him take his second shot.

5.Texas is in Austin which is one of the best cities on the planet. That has to rub off on the players. Austin is also considered the most liberal city in Texas. Though in Texas a liberal is someone who only has two guns.
