Highlighted team names are links to team profiles (more coming soon) and highlighted scores are links to boxscores. A note about the boxscores: whenever I make it to the Disch, I keep score and post my own detailed account of the game that same evening if possible. If I can't make it to the game, I post whatever I can find in the UT or Austin paper within a day or two. If you ever want more info about a specific game or how a particular player did, feel free to drop me a line and I'll do my best to fill you in.
