THE MORNING BREW
Who's next after Barnes' firing at Texas?
Seventeen-season Texas basketball coach Rick Barnes has been fired. ESPN reported Saturday. Sunday, the school officially announced it "mutually agreed to part ways" with Barnes.
Barnes was told by Texas officials to either make adjustments to the program after this season or be dismissed from the program, multiple sources reported to ESPN. During his time at Texas, Barnes was 402-180, with three Big 12 regular seasons and 16 appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
The Longhorns were expected to be a strong team with returning players such as Isaiah Taylor, Cameron Ridley, Javan Felix and Jonathan Holmes, as well as highly anticipated recruit Myles Turner. Going into this season, Texas was
ranked No.2 in the Big 12 behind Kansas, but faltered throughout the conference, finishing seventh with an 8-10 record.
In the quarterfinals of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship, the Longhorns lost on a last second shot by Iowa State's Monte' Morris. Another defeat came from Butler
Looking forward, the question on everyone's mind is who will take this high-quality job in the Big 12? There are two names being discussed by many sources. Wichita State's Greg Marshall may

their teams go to the NBA. If Marshall leaves Wichita State for Texas, he and Kansas coach Bill Self will meet up for the second time this year. Whoever gets the Texas job will have to contend with one of the toughest conferences in college basketball.

Rowing set for April 4 clash after Sunday scrimmage

More than 300 fans came out to watch the Kansas rowing team take 17 of 20 races in a home scrimmage against Drake and Kansas State on Sunday. All four of Kansas' varsity eight boats competed.
All boats raced five shortened runs — 1,000 meters instead of 2,000 meters which allowed coaches to address improvements between the runs. The scrimmage was more geared toward helping the coaches finalize their race lineups and crews as Kansas coaches approach the homestretch of the Big 12 season.
"I don't know if we're quite yet," Kansas coach Rob theloth told KU Athletics.
"We're still trying to get people to be consistent."
Although the races didn't count for the rankings, the Jayhawks' strong performance against two of the closest teams in the region was encouraging.
Kansas will travel to Dallas on April 4 to take on SMU before the Jayhawks hit the toughest part of their schedule. Catloth's ultimate goal is to compete in the strong Big 12 conference. He will have that chance in less than a month.
After the matchup with SMU, Kansas will compete in the Knecht Cup before facing Big 12 opponents leading up to the Big 12 Championship, which begins May 16.
