Texas overcame the loss of star big man Dylan Disu to rout Xavier and advance to the...
Texas guard Marcus Carr shoots during the first half of a Midwest Regional semifinal college basketball game in the NCAA Tournament on Friday, March 24, 2023, in Kansas City, Mo.KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Anyone who thought Texas would just roll over after the abrupt loss of NCAA Tournament star Dylan Disu hasn’t been paying attention.

And by the time Disu returned with a boot affixed to his left foot, the rout was just getting started. Disu tried to play through a bone bruise he suffered during practice but was clearly hobbled. Losing the surging senior who’d totaled 45 points on 22 of 31 shooting and 10 rebounds over the first two rounds wasn’t ideal, of course.
