The Texas Longhorns have had a tremendous season. That stems in part from beating most of the teams they should beat.
Fox College Hoops shared a graphic that featured seven teams without a Quad 2, Quad 3 or Quad 4 loss.
Essentially, a Quad 1 game is one that involves facing a Top 30 team at home, Top 50 team at a neutral site or a Top 75 team on the road. Only within those parameters has Texas suffered its six losses.
The Houston Cougars and Alabama Crimson Tide were not present on that list, despite ranking at No. 1 and No. 2 in the latest bracket reveal. In fairness, the two teams have had more Quad 2, Quad 3, and Quad 4 matchups than some Big 12 teams.
Here’s a look at every team that hasn’t suffered a bad loss all season.

The Longhorns are still in some ways under the radar, but shouldn’t have any trouble changing that narrative with a strong tournament run. The experience laden team should challenge for the second weekend for the first time since 2008.

Baylor hasn’t been its usual self, but has taken care of business against teams it should beat. Jonathan Tchamba Tchatchua’s emergence could add another dimension to its trio of three point shooting guards.

Missouri hasn’t exactly been dominant this season, but the team has done a good job of not sabotaging its resume with an unforeseen loss. At 20-8, the Tigers have made sure to beat the lesser teams.

No Kevin Obanor, no problem. Oral Roberts (26-4) could be ready for another tournament run after making the Sweet 16 as a No. 15 seed in 2021.
