How last season's struggles laid foundation for Texas' success this year
Texas senior forward Timmy Allen said he's grateful for last season's struggles. Without them, Texas wouldn't be in position to win its first Big 12 title since 2008.AUSTIN — Looking back on it now, forward Timmy Allen is grateful for that first season at Texas.First-year coach Chris Beard had assembled a star-studded team of all-conference vets to pair with a blue-chip freshman and four program mainstays, and just about everyone pegged the preseason No.
Still, Texas still managed to win 22 games, finish third in the Big 12 and win its first NCAA tournament game since 2014. But that, Allen believes, was only the precursor to something greater, the “Rocky” training montage before the redemptive prize fight. Allen, now a fifth-year forward, and the four remaining members of last year’s team are all playing pivotal roles, marching hand-in-hand with Terry in the wake of Beard’s midseason firing. And none of this would be possible without what transpired last year — at least that’s what Allen told graduate forward Brock Cunningham recently.

Why large Black communities call Texas home - Texas Wants to KnowWith more than 3.9 million, Texas is home to more Black residents than any other state. Yes, Texas is the second-most populous state in the U.S., but California has the most multiracial Black residents and New York has the most Hispanic Black residents. The Lone Star State is home to the most non-Hispanic, single-race Black residents. The single biggest reason? Slavery. But there's nuance to the answer too. Deborah Liles, the W.K. Gordon Chair of Texas history at Tarleton State University, explains what may have kept some Black residents in Texas after the Civil War, and Amber Sims, the executive director of the nonprofit Young Leaders, Strong City, details the progress that's been made and the steps we still need to take.
