As hard a pill as it will be to swallow, the Longhorns won’t reach the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row. 

A baseball crashed into Erich Weiss’s face two weeks ago, fracturing his nose and leaving a cut running down to his right cheek. In an unfortunate way, it’s perfectly symbolic of Weiss’ last two seasons and of his career: another bad break.

Texas has not had much luck in one-run games of late, losing its last three contests coming into Tuesday night’s game.

The Longhorns will host Prairie View A&M on Tuesday night in an attempt to salvage what is left of their unsuccessful season.
