If we're being honest, Beard's 21-22 Texas team underperformed. I mean, look at this roster... just full of senior All-Conference players. We had guys with 50+ starts buried deep on the bench.
Marcus Carr, Senior - 3rd Team Big 10
Courtney Ramey, Senior - 3rd Team Big 12
Andrew Jones, Senior - 2nd Team Big 12
Timmy Allen, Senior - 1st Team All Pac 10
Tre Mitchell, Junior - 1st Team All A-10
Christian Bishop, Senior - Big East 4th in rebounding, 1st in TS%
Jase Febres, Senior - 61 starts at Texas
Dylan Disu, Junior - 48 starts at Vanderbilt
Devin Askew, Soph - 5-star transfer
Jaylon Tyson, Freshman - National top-35 recruit (#20 draft pick in 2024)
Brock Cunningham, Junior
Avery Benson, Senior - Culture guy
That roster should have been better than a 6 seed. Yes, we go screwed in a bad matchup with Purdue, but that wouldn't have happened if we took care of business during the season. We got swept by F'ing Texas Tech. We lost to KU in OT. Lost in the first round of the B12 tourney to TCU. Lost a few more close games on top of that. In the end, we lost 12 games, worse than Shaka's 8 losses the year before. And only got a single tourney win.
