Following an 82-78 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats, the Longhorns get a much needed 7-day break until their next matchup in Colombia, SC when they take on the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday, February 22nd, at 7:30PM CT on the SEC Network.
Head Coach Rodney Terry emphasized how much this bye-week was needed in terms of mending guys to get back on the court, with both Kaluma and Weaver still banged up, the staff and squad can’t stress enough how much of an impact they make and how much this team can put out on the floor when at full strength.
While Arthur is trending in the right direction in terms of his recovery, Rodney Terry states that Chendall Weaver still isn’t a full participant in practice at this point of the season. It will be interesting to see just how much progress Weaver can make in his recovery with his Hip injury with this long of a break for the Horns until their next matchup.
In terms of the message the staff has been stressing this week to the squad, it’s been centered around recovery. The staff will try their absolute best to mend the talent that’s missed time being off the court as they see this week as an opportunity to do just that with a road stretch on the horizon.
Despite projections being listed day in and day out, the coaching staff have stressed to the team to ‘live where you’re feet are at’ meaning to not buy into where media outlets have this squad projected to be seeded come March.
In ESPN/Joe Lunardi’s latest bracketology, Texas was projected to be in the South (Atlanta) Region as the 10th seed squaring up against the 7th seed Saint Mary Gaels, and while this single projection doesn't tell the entire story as to where the Longhorns will be seeded exactly come March 16th on Selection Sunday, it is a great sense to see certain viewpoints on a Texas squad with that date looming.
