Was Texas an Underdog to the Lopez Twins led Stanford team in that Regional? 

doesn't list the favorite/ spread; but the recap is pretty interesting, especially RE Dexter Pittman getting inside Lopez' head.

We were ranked #6 in the AP to end the year. I believe Stanford was like #10 and a 3-seed. I'm pretty sure we were favorites.

[Underdog 28544]

Looking at the box score I'd say you're right. 

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

Texas was favored but it taking down the Brooks Bros. was still a huge win and no small feat.

That same team was responsible for one of my favorite all-time regular-season wins--beating a stacked UCLA side at Pauley Pavilion. How stacked? Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, for starters.

Several great teams that season, and Texas was one of them. Barnes put together a special crew.

[Satchel 6925]

Not many would have guessed with the Sec getting 8 bids that a Beard coached Ole Miss would not be one of them.

[tx 3 putt 76862]

When’s the ole miss game ?

curious to see how the master game plans and strategy for the tourney

reading the stuff around here, none of that was his fault. true genius is often working on a higher level. im sure his team stats show they're a top 12 team

I wonder how well this post ages. It’ll be interesting to see if he can replicate his success outside of Texas the next few years or if he’ll just be a “what could’ve been” coach. As a Tech fan I’ll def be rooting for the latter and don’t care if it is considered schadenfreude.

I mean he did go 20-12...the season before they were 12-21.

Dude will probably be beating Texas and in the sweet 16 by the next 2 seasons

A turnaround of this magnitude doesn’t happen often at a poverty program like Ole Miss. Have to go back half a decade to find anything remotely similar.

also, I’m open to betting that Texas has a better conference record than ole miss next year

We could only be so lucky to have beaten Detroit Mercy by a point. I’m so envious 

Not a single nonconf opponent in NET 1-60 but they did beat NCST. But not super elite March ACCT NCST

Not to be outdone by his classy handling of the Arterio Morris personal matter. Recruiting and protecting a future rapist who subsequently contributed fuck-all on the court.  

Oof. Not great in hindsight, Chris.

Define "missed a step". Texas took a huge step back this year from last year. They rode the momentum of what Beard built last year. He was on his way to building something pretty good here.

I mean Chris was 10-8 in conference his first year and had a second round exit 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Beard is a great coach but this is what he's done in the last 5 years. 

9-9 in Big 12 and tournament cancelled. 

9-8 in Big 12 and round of 32. 

10-8 in Big 12 and round of 32. 

Choked his fiance and fired.

7-11 in the SEC and missed the tournament. 

If you looked at this resume and his name was Rodney Terry there would be people on this board losing their minds.

should i even get into how disingenuous this is, or should i just duck for saying “disingenuous” again? chris beard was here for 18 months. he overachieved with his first team, and then never got to finish anything with his second team. now he’s at ole miss which might literally be the worst power conference program in the country, and he’s had one season there with a bunch of terrible players who don’t fit his system.

here’s a not-disingenuous way to describe his last 2-3 years: chris beard did more with what he had than was expected every single one of those years. don’t tell me about the dumbass AP preseason poll his first year at Texas, and don’t tell me that RT would have come remotely close to having as much success building a roster and then competing in the big xii and the ncaa tourney considering what the roster looked like when beard took over. again, he had UT at no.1 in kenpom in december of his second season (with zero nba players), and that team, which fell off considerably in nearly every trackable metric (including the eye test) after beard got fired still went to the elite 8 regardless.

unless you’re ready to make the argument that RT is a better HC than chris beard, then stop popping in with these wildly disingenuous characterizations of beard’s last few years, as if it’s just been a totally normal three year stretch at a power school like Texas, or as if reducing his last three years to a couple of sentences and basic stats tells an accurate story.

[MirrOlure 14755]

It should be. But didn’t they sign that shitbird for life?

[HookEm 2463]

Beard absolutely didn’t overachieve in his first year here. He won a single tournament game. Woo hoo. Throw a parade.

He deserves credit for reloading with some players who had already won 1st Team All Conference honors in Carr (Big 10), Allen (PAC 10), Tre Mitchell (A10). But he also lost a lot of talent when he got here. And ultimately won a single tourney game.

I expected more out of that group honestly. And it looked like we were on our way in 22-23.

[CashMcCoy 3199]

There’s a decent chance McCullar, Terrence Shannon (pending trial), and Jaylon Tyson are all first round picks in a few months. Beard leaving for UT really earned each of them millions in the end. The power of two egg McMuffins in Plainview.

[TreatyOak 16311]

I've been watching the Calipari train-wreck videos on YouTube. He really threw his players under the bus in the press conference following the horrible loss to Oakland. 
Fun tip: great leaders don't use language to separate themselves from their team. Calipari says awful things like, 'They couldn't do stuff.' 'They got anxious,' etc. Subtext: 'It wasn't my fault.'

In many of the videos, the creators discuss whom they would like to replace him. Guess what name hasn't been ever mentioned?

Chris Beard really screwed up his life.

My BIL is a booster at Arkansas. He claims they’re getting Beard. I’m traveling and didn’t even realize Musselman took the USC job. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

I asked this in the coaching search thread but is Arkansas even a destination school or another stepping stone job for Beard? 

It would already be his 5th school in a relatively short amount of time. Eventually he has to stick somewhere if his ultimate goal is to win big.
