Houston and Texas lead the Lone Star State with three All-Texas player selections each.

Texas made its first Elite Eight since 2008 under interim head coach Rodney Terry.

Sure, the State of Texas may only have two of the seven original teams in the Field of 68 left in the NCAA Tournament. But there are still plenty of notable Texas High School basketball alumni to watch in the Sweet 16.

It's a shame the NCAA Tournament won't have much Lone Star flavor this year in particular since the Final Four is happening in Dallas. But Texas in particular is a team that's built to win in March, with its emphasis on defense, so don't count out a Longhorns appearance in Dallas in a few weeks.

The resignation comes following Mark Adams' suspension by the University. 

Pebley steps down following nine seasons in Fort Worth.

Texas Tech as a whole has gone under the radar. The team played really well in non-conference, losing just one game to Jackson State, but they also played a fairly weak non-conference schedule, with just one game against a power conference opponent, an overtime win over Colorado.

The future is bright at the Ferrell Center, and a big part of that is because of freshman wing Darianna Littlepage-Buggs.
