Rodney Terry's job may depend on tournament success
Texas Longhorns head coach Rodney Terry's job security may hinge on the team's performance in the NCAA Tournament. The Longhorns, with a record of 19-15, were surprisingly selected as one of the last four teams in the tournament. Texas will face Xavier in the First Four on Wednesday. A win would lead them to play Illinois in the next round. Despite making the tournament, Terry may need a deep run to solidify his position as head coach. Concerns about Terry's future persist, as the athletic director has a history of seeking new candidates before making coaching changes. The Longhorns' recruiting momentum has also slowed, with their 2025 class ranked near the bottom in the SEC.
