Texas point guard Rori Harmon knew it was bad when her knee crumpled during a December pregame practice while doing a basketball move she'd done probably thousands of times. “Nobody even touched me,” Harmon said. The leader of a Longhorns team that started the season as a favorite to reach the Final Four was done for the season with a torn ligament.
Tennessee, seeded No. 2 in the Midwest Region, is coached by someone that Texas is extremely familiar with — former head coach Rick Barnes. He led the Longhorns to 16 March Madness appearances in 17 seasons from 1998-2015, racking up 582 wins for the Longhorns with a Final Four berth in 2003. One of his top assistants for a good portion of that run, from 2002-11, was current Longhorns head coach Rodney Terry.
