'It's a whole new generation' When it comes to the NCAA tourney and Texas heartache, ignorance is bliss.
Penn State head coach Micah Shrewsberry walks off the court with guard Myles Dread after a second-round college basketball game against Texas in the NCAA Tournament, Saturday, March 18, 2023, in Des Moines, Iowa. DES MOINES, Iowa — The funny thing about the past is that if you’re young enough, it does not exist. A child cannot be scarred by memories he doesn’t have. A team cannot be haunted by ghosts it’s never seen.
“It’s a whole new generation,” Texas sophomore Tyrese Hunter said. “Fifteen years is a long time ago.” They left the past in the past thanks to Rodney Terry, the longtime assistant who inherited what should have been a disaster when former Texas coach was suspended and subsequently fired after a domestic violence arrest in December. For three months he’s had a plan, and when his players faced the part of Saturday’s game when so many other Texas teams have melted down in previous NCAA tournaments, they acted like they knew exactly what to do.
How did Terry do it? Back in December, he started by “not trying to reinvent the wheel,” as Longhorns assistant Chris Ogden put it. Terry kept a system in place, but he tweaked it, little by little, and before the Longhorns knew it, his personality was theirs.
