Jordan Pope - Hits three treys, scores 17 Pope logged 17 points (7-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 32 minutes during Saturday's 74-68 victory over Gonzaga.

Impact Since scoring 30 points in the regular season finale against Oklahoma, Pope has been inefficient. In the four tournament games, the 6-1 senior has made just 36.5 percent of his field goals. He hit some big shots against Gonzaga and will look to keep the slipper on in the Sweet 16 against either Purdue or Miami (FL).

Nic Codie - Scores season-high 12 points Codie finished Saturday's 74-68 victory over Gonzaga with 12 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes.

Impact Codie was that surprise performer that every Cinderella needs. The 6-8 sophomore scored in double digits for just the second time this season. He took advantage of opportunities in the paint against Zags to help Texas back to the Sweet 16 where they will either face Purdue or Miami (FL).

Matas Vokietaitis - Battles for 17 points, nine boards Vokietaitis racked up 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Saturday's 74-68 victory over Gonzaga.

Impact Vokietaitis has been huge in the Longhorns' NCAA Tournament run. Through three games, the 7-0 sophomore has provided 18.3 points on 53.8 percent from the field and 11.0 rebounds. He even hit a pair of clutch free throws late in the second half against Gonzaga, but has hit only 46.4 percent of his freebies in the Big Dance.

Camden Heide - Only shot is a big shot Heide chipped in three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 13 minutes during Saturday's 74-68 win over Gonzaga.

Impact Heide hit his lone 3-pointer with 15 seconds remaining and the Longhorns up one to give the team an unassailable lead. The 6-7 junior started his fourth straight game, but only played 13 minutes. He has hit a 3-pointer in each of his last three games, but none bigger than Saturday's.

Lassina Traore - Won't face Gonzaga Traore (knee) is out for Saturday's game at Gonzaga.

Impact Traore has missed the Longhorns' games against NC State and BYU so far, and he won't be an option here as well. Thus, it's fair to wonder whether he'll suit up for the NCAA Tournament at all. The big man hasn't played since February and finished the regular season with 3.4 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.

Chendall Weaver - Double-double off bench Weaver posted 11 points (3-5 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 68-66 win over North Carolina State.

Impact Going into Tuesday, Weaver had never logged a double-double, so the fact that he recorded one for Texas on Tuesday is at least somewhat surprising. At the same time, he has proven to be capable. Earlier this season, Weaver logged double-digit points four times, and Tuesday marked the fifth occasion. Though his 6-foot-3, 180-pound profile does not fit a typical rebounder, he has proven to be one of the nation's best rebounding guards, with at least four per game in all but one of his undergraduate seasons. In what is his last year, Weaver will be instrumental depth for a Longhorn team trying to make surprising noise in their first campaign under Sean Miller.

Tramon Mark - Clutch in First Four Mark registered 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 68-66 win over North Carolina State.

Impact With under 10 seconds left in regulation and the game tied 66-66, Mark sized up one-on-one defender Tre Holloman and scored a two-pointer that ultimately decided their matchup. In doing so, he not only prolonged the 2025-26 Longhorns' season but also his collegiate career. Even though Mark may not be their clear-cut No. 1, his latest game and March overall prove he is someone to watch out for moving forward. Going into the West regional's Round of 64 games, where Texas will take on No. 6 BYU, Mark has scored more than 15 points in all but one of four matchups UT's team has logged this month.
