It was a much needed win and a very satisfying win after so many close games.
I am tremendously proud of these guys for the way they kept fighting. We faced a lot of adversity this season, but these guys played hard everynight.
Thanks to the graduating seniors, Joseph Lopez, Albert Gamez, Riley Rocha, and Andrew Sotelo for great leadership and guidance. Our younger guys got a lot of experience that will surely help us in years to come, but there is a foundation that we can build on. I really believe the future is bright for Longhorn Basketball.
