Texas has been clinging to the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble for several weeks. The Longhorns have stacked plenty of Quad 1 wins in a deep SEC, but the losses have piled up.

With Texas ending the season with a 1-5 mark in its final six games, including a loss to Ole Miss in the SEC tournament, anyone with a burnt orange T-shirt in their closet will be sweating out the minutes on Selection Sunday.

Texas NCAA Tournament Prediction

I am predicting Texas will make the 2026 NCAA Tournament. The Longhorns have too many good wins to fall behind too many other teams on the bubble.
