To make it abundantly clear, Texas is college basketball’s National Champion.

I’ve been seeing a lot of erroneous claims that Texas is not in fact college basketball’s 2019 National Champions.

*sigh*

And the media wonders why people don’t trust it anymore.

To make it even clearer, I did some research this morning on how Texas compares to each of the four teams who could win that other tournament:

Auburn

  • Fact: Texas beat North Carolina.
  • Fact: North Carolina beat Duke.
  • Fact: Duke beat Auburn.

Texas Tech

  • Fact: Texas beat Iowa State.
  • Fact: Iowa State beat Texas Tech.

Michigan State

  • Fact: Texas beat Purdue.
  • Fact: Purdue beat Michigan State.

Virginia

  • Fact: Texas beat North Carolina.
  • Fact: North Carolina beat Florida State.
  • Fact: Florida State beat Virginia.

Still a hater? How petty of you.
