Oh, Ricky...
Even the best recruits can't save you from your own mistakes:Texas coach Rick Barnes got himself ejected with 3.9 seconds left in the Longhorns' Sweet 16 loss to Xavier for arguing with referee Ted Valentine, costing his team its last remaining chance of overcoming what was then a three-point deficit.
Texas' 2004 recruiting class includes three All-Americans, LaMarcus Aldridge, Daniel Gibson and Mike Williams, and two top high school stars, Connor Atchley and Dion Dowell. We'll see how many NCAA Tournament games Rick Barnes wins with 'em.
