Texas won the National Championship in football this year, and with a 80-55 blowout of No. 16 Kansas on Saturday, it looks as though the Longhorn's 7th ranked men's basketball club is set to claim their first Big 12 championship in seven years. They improved to 24-4 overall on the year, tying a university record for the most wins in a regular season.

Two questions here: 1. Can Texas beat either Texas A&M or Oklahoma to break that regular season win record? and 2. Will they be a No. 1 seed come tournament time? I think the answer to both is yes. They should at least be able to beat the Aggies, and I bet they'd love to get some vengeance on the Sooners for that Jan. 28 loss. Either way, with victories over No. 3 Villanova, No. 4 Memphis, No. 14 West Virginia, No. 18 Iowa and now the 16th ranked Jayhawks, they've proven themselves as a good pick for a No. 1 seed.

It is tough to say who the #1's will be at this point due to the conference tournaments, etc. But with that being said, I think that both Duke and Memphis will get a one seed. Also, the winner of the Nova vs. UConn game will probably sneak in.

But really who knows? Every year there are so many surprises that it is tough to say.

The Longhorns will beat A&M and OU and if they win the Big 12 tournament they should be a #1 seed. I'm worried about their chances of winning the national championship because if they win out in the regular season and Big 12 tournament, they would have to win 12 or 13 in a row. I'm afraid they will have a game like they had against Duke, Tennessee, Ok. State, or OU. I love this team, but I really think they will have a slip up game in the Elite 8 or Final 4.

Greetings, ahenderson! Welcome to GoTeamsGo and thanks for joining us. Winning at least a dozen games in a row would certainly be a difficult feat for any team to accomplish, even one the calibur of the Longhorns. Not impossible, though. Keep the faith!
