Bring on the Podcast with Inside Texas basketball writer Tim Preston

Tim Preston of Inside Texas joins us to preview K-State's matchup in Austin this Saturday and tells us why it's such a big game for the Longhorns, before explaining why Rick Barnes is probably done after this season either way.

Isaiah Taylor wreaked havoc on K-State in Manhattan, and I'm not sure the Wildcats have anyone who can stop him from a repeat performance on Saturday.

The era of Kansas State owning Texas has ended, and the Wildcats have a massive test ahead of them Saturday in Austin. Tim Preston of Inside Texas breaks down the matchup, including the Longhorns' big size advantage inside, the recent scoring spurts of both point guards, and why he's so afraid of Marcus Foster. This game also has huge bubble implications for at least one team, though you may be surprised to hear Tim's thoughts on Texas' at-large hopes.

Of course, we also talked about the future of Rick Barnes, and who might be his replacement if a somewhat apathetic fanbase gets its wish. The story of Texas' beleaguered coach isn't a simple one, and despite what some fans may tell you, Tim says repairing the basketball program won't be an easy fix.

Be sure to check out all of Tim's great work at Inside Texas, where he writes with Friend of the Podcast Ian Boyd.
