Texas coach Sean Miller arrived in Austin and was tasked with rebuilding the Longhorns’ men’s basketball program and helping them reach March success.
Year 1 went well for Miller & Co., as he was able to hit the ground running and prove Texas to be a competitive team in the SEC. The Longhorns had their ups and downs, but the end result was promising. Texas snuck into the NCAA tournament field as one of the last teams in, won its First Four game against NC State and then proceeded to beat BYU and Gonzaga to advance to the Sweet 16, where its season ended in a two-point loss to Purdue.
